OUT and about..

This blog was poorly abandoned due to the 

following consecutive fun-filled-out-of-our-small-town trips. 

So here it goes…

One. EMPACT at Des Moines

We are so blessed to be given the chance to attend this 2-day lecture on different topics. My favorite of all was “Straight Talk to Women:  Fireplaces and Cheating on Your Husband” by Sister Nancy Bolinger. You can read her notes here.

That aside, I also documented some neat 10-minute hairdo how-to’s 

demonstrated by some lovely saints in between lectures.

 The videos was then compiled into a DVD by the amazing hubby 

and copies were sold at the Ladies Conference 

as a fundraiser for Mother's Memorial.

Of course, the Fuenteses did not let loose of the chance 

to take a picture of Iowa’s state capitol
and its golden dome as the background.

Two. CHICAGO, take 2!

Revisiting the windy city was equally amusing 

but not as tiring as the previous.

Reunited with JP

PLUS

Meeting new good friends

EQUALS

fun. Fun. FUN!

'Til we meet again, guys. :)

Three. Ladies Conference

Like last year, this means a day of shopping and food. 

Sadly, I don’t have pictures of such because 

my camera weighs as much as I do so I pretty much left it in the car.

Anyways, the conference went wonderfully 

with such a witty speaker, Sister Cindy Miller.  

The message that hit me was to “let God be God.” 

I do not always understand certain occurrences in my life, 

rest assured, His ways are always higher than mine.

Then.. as one of the official photographers,
 I was deprived from being in the pictures except this one.

Lastly, I received this delightful message

from Sister George, IA Ladies' President.

Truly blessed to be able to help.
