Thank you for sharing this SWEET experience with us!

Your experiences:

WOW! This was amazing! I have enjoyed the others that I have been to but this one I must have been needing. I was able to reconnect with friendships and also set new goals to help me better reconnect with my Father in Heaven. It was such a spiritual uplifing experience I didn't want it to end. All of the presenters were amazing yet down to earth to the point that I could relate to them. The spirit that I felt from them and the 1400 other women that were there gave me a renewed strength that I was craving and had filled. I would recommend this to everyone, member of our faith or not.

I did not know what to expect when I signed up to go to this event. The selling point was the inclusion of both Sister Nelson and Sister Dew. I have had the opportunity to listen to both these wonderful sisters in the past and I did not want to miss out. The Spirit was in abundance and touched my heart and soul in a way I was not expecting. The sweet assurance that came as a result of this experience has increased my testimony of my Saviour, and I know absolutely that I am truly a daughter of God. Thank you for coming.

I really appreciated that this TOFW in Edm was by women for women. I appreciated that all the women attending came to share, and care amongst themselves, and to receive from the presenters. I know that at the time I just took it all in but at the end when asked "what are you going to do with it now? I have given that enough thought to motivate me to get back on the wagon cuz I was made aware that I was slipping off. I started to read Sheri Dew's book last night and spent a sleepless night wrestling with what I had heard at TOFW and what I had just read. This will for sure inspire me to make better use of my experiences here on earth.

I am a first timer and found exactly what my soul was looking for. I sat with my mother and sister who drove 5hrs to come to this event with me. It was amazing, powerful and left an impression on me that will last a life time. I loved being apart of this 1400 sisterhood, all bonded together grasping the gospel to a higher level. Jenny's music made me smile and cry, infact I have already downloaded her music off of itunes for my kids ipods... along with Jason Deere's. What an impression their music left with me. Sheri Dew - how amazing... how I wish I had her strength... but then maybe I do and I don't even know it... something I came away with. 3 yrs ago this November my dear sweet baby boy passed away at the age of 2, he was my 5th child and my last and I miss him dearly. I was serching for happiness this weekend. Wendy Ulrich asked us a question "what stands between you and the Lord?" I answered in my journal... "sadness".. then Sheri spoke at the end on Saturday. Sheri specifically said and I quote "He (referring to the Savior) can heal our sadness." I wept. Those were my last words written in my journal and my question was answered. I was able to fast today for the first time since my son died almost 3 yrs ago. I gained so much spiritual strength I can't thank you enough... I feel as though I am able to get my life back to some normalicy now. Thanks again to Emily Freemen for her 4th principle.. turn to Jesus Christ. I was filled with Sweet Assurance this weekend that I KNOW that I will see my baby boy again and hold him in my arms and kiss his sweet perfect cheek. THank you; Denine McMahon Edmonton, Alberta

This event was able to really make me consider my life and changes that need to be made. Wendy Ulrich was very thought provoking and was able to reach me in a way that I needed. Jason Deere's song about a missionary was so poignant, because I have a son on a mission. The entire weekend was motivating and inspiring, especially because as an extended family, we chose to meet together as a Grandmother, sisters, nieces and daughters for this weekend. Thank you for this opportunity to share with each other and to make new friends. As an usher for this event I had the great privilege of meeting a newly baptized member of the Church and see her excitement in attending this "extracurricular" event! Thank you for all the work to put together this weekend.

Of course it was wonderful. It made me feel good about myself, it made me go home to try and be a better person and I can hardly wait till next year when I'll be in Ottawa, Ontario and there will be one in Toronto. My favorite thing is humour. My father dealt with life that way and so it always will be a necessary thing in my life. I appreciate the humour that most of the speakers were able to bring into their talks. It brings so much life to what is being said. Thank you for that. I'm usually not one for church music, I am a singer and often find church musicians to be a little too cheesy. However, the musical presenters at this Time Out were great! Jenny was so much fun and I'm impressed that both of them realize that music can be more than just uplifting, it can be fun, crazy and make you feel like dancing, which is sometimes what we need as busy women. I'll be getting as many people as possible to go next year. Karen Mitchell
