Thank you for sharing this SWEET experience with us!
Your experiences:
Just got back from KC TOFW. Loved it and had a life changing experience. I was prompted by the spirit to invite a sister that just moved into our ward and was coming back to the church after 13 years of inactivity. She decided to join us last minute. We drove down from Iowa. We had the most moving spiritual experiences. She expressed to me how much it meant to her to have been able to come. She decided to change her life. She cried all weekend and kept telling me "I'm not a crier." Monday morning she quit smoking. She has expressed to me many times how much she learned and how she felt the Savior's love surrounding her. She said, "I just want to have this feeling with me always. I want to explain to my husband what has happened to me this weekend." So we bought the DVD. On our way home all 5 of us shared with each other our Sweet Assurances. It was like testimony meeting on wheels. I so appreciate the work and prayer that goes into making this a wonderful weekend for us in the misson field. Thank you TOFW! We had a wonderful spirit filled weekend and woke up with puffy eyes Sunday morning from all the crying. Can't wait to see you in Omaha in May!

Going to Time Out For Women was one of the best experiences of my life! It truly changed my heart and I came away from it with a stronger testimony and greater faith and more love for our Savior. I laughed and cried the whole time. Each speaker touched on things that I have been struggling with and gave me answers to questions I have had about life. I felt the spirit so strong throughout the entire conference and walked away a better person!

I always have a good time at Time Out. I especially enjoyed Jenny Oaks Baker. Was a little sad Sheri Dew wasn't able to make it but all the speakers were fabulous and just wanted I needed to be refreshed!
