An Historic Event

Dear Sisters,

Last night I had the opportunity to attend the first Semi-Annual Women's Conference held at the Conference Center in Salt Lake City.  It was a tremendously Spiritual experience that helped to uplift and inspire all in attendance.  I was particularly moved when all around me young girls ages 8-11 stood and sang the first verse of "Teach Me To Walk In the Light":

Teach me to walk in the light of His love,
Teach me to pray to my Father above,
Teach me to know of the things that are right,
Teach me, teach me to walk in the light.

To which the Young Women and Relief Society sisters replied:

Come, little child and together we'll learn
Of His commandments that we may return
Home to His presence to live in His sight
Always, always to walk in the Light.

Never before has that song meant more to me than it did last night, as I was brought face to face with my responsibilities as a Covenant Daughter of God.  We have the wonderful privilege of being tasked with the righteous rearing of all of our Father's children, young and old!  As we serve those around us, we are helping them to walk in the Light with us!  As we use the Atonement we are walking in the Light!  As we faithfully fulfill our callings, we are walking in the Light!  I don't know of a better place to be than surrounded by my family and sisters in Heavenly Father's Light.  May you always find yourself basking in the Light of His love is my prayer, in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

Love,
Sister Cook
