SISTERS WITH STYLE!!


Finally...a day for us and our sisters! We have been looking forward to this for a month now...and planning and preparing for an entire day together! We spent the morning hearing from all the wives of the mission presidency, plus Sister Cherry from the Office and Sister Winchell, our temple missionary. It was a spiritual feast! Our theme was Sisters With STYLE: Spirit and Testimony, Yoked in Love and Empathy
After our morning session and testimonies from our three departing sisters, we went for a temporal feast...first of food, an amazing lunch...a fun "rap" by Sister Burton (see link) and celebration of Sister Alvarez birthday.
...and then a feast of knowledge with four mini classes. One about how to make
fresh salsa from Hermana Zayas.
How to accessorize with scarves.
How to make cute hair flowers.
and how to shop for clothes and wear amazing accessories with style! OK, so there were some OVER THE TOP things donated that we just had so much fun playing with!
You get a small idea of how much clothing there really was when you see Sister Morris here modeling a bag!
The stage was set for our own fashion show with the good, the bad and THE UGLY!
I will let you judge which side is which!
Lets just say that in reality, each sister went home with a bag of new, usable clothing and accessories...some really great things thanks to the generosity of members in the mission.
We wrapped up the day with a discussion on how to be linked in love and empathy...with some literal burdens of responsibility to bear alone...
or with a companion. And even more easily with the Lord to lift in the center!
We love being women with lives centered in the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Sisters with Spirit and Testimony; Yoked in Love and Empathy!
