LDS Women are Incredible and Believe in Being Honest and True

I absolutely love love love this talk. It is always a nice thing to hear the Brethren speak on women and hear them express their gratitude for all we do. Sometimes it seems our lives are a bit unknown and unappreciated. I have always made sure when Gabriel thanks his guys for their service that he thanks their wives as well- the true heroes.

"Our women are not incredible because they have managed to avoid the difficulties of life- quite the opposite.  They are incredible because of the way they face the trials of life.  Despite the challenges and test life has to offer... they remain remarkably strong and immoveable and true to the faith."

We didn't go over this one in FHE but we did read it on our own. Gabriel gave Chris an assignment to read it every night for a week. :)
I especially, like many other people, loved the story- parable?- of the purse!  I found a cute handout/craft that shows you how to make a cute little purse from a small paper bag, with some of the things in the story that you can put into this "purse".  If you want the pdf of this, email me and I'll send it to you.  I can't remember the website.

Does she look like her father? Sis Dibbs is the daughter of Pres Monson. If you look in the peinted Ensign, their talks (page 114 and page 115) face each other.

Anyway.. I appreciated this talk especially on the heels of being called into YW. There is a lesson coming up on Avoiding Dishonesty, and I will definitely refer to this talk. This is a topic Gabriel and I have tried so hard to teach our children- strict obedience.  She quotes Pres Hunter,

"When we are honest in all things, big and small, we experience peace of mind and a clear conscience.  Our relationships are enriched... and the greatest blessing that comes from being honest is that we are able to have the companionship of the Holy Ghost."
