I checked in at the front table and got a lunch (yay!). We were seated by Legislative Committee; something I hadn’t expected but that was extremely helpful. DeLyn, one of our drummers for the Young People’s Address, was our musician. The girl can also sing and play piano like nobody’s business, so I guess she’s in the right field. We had introductions to the chairs of boards and agencies involved with women and a brief introduction to the legislative process, and then split up into legislative committees to go over that process and begin discussing possibilities for officers. The women of my committee (of which there are nineteen in a group of fifty-seven) now think that I should be the secretary of our committee (oh joy, oh joy). We have women nominees for Chair and Vice Chair and also spoke about a young man, Matthew Laferty, who is a senior in college and has been to General Conference previously. He would be another possible chair. It would be pretty sweet for the both chair and secretary to be under thirty. We’ll see what happens; I will be happy either way.
The preacher at the end who gave a "Meditation" was phenomenal. No idea why that women isn't a bishop. Definitely needs to be.
