Awesome, amazing, wonderful, inspirational. I am so glad I went.
The talks we all great on the topic, each overlapping enough to give that "sweet assurance", yet different enough to touch each person.
For me each TOFW is so uplifting, but I must say that this one like the first one I went to made me instrospective as well.
The 1st time I saw Michael McLean was in Orlando at the 1st TOFW I went to. I found him funny and hoped his off Broadway show was a success (anybody know how that went by the way). This time for me he was still funny, but he truly touch my heart, the spirit was so strong Friday night. Thanks for that.
Really all of the speakers were great.
Thanks to the time out production crew, volunteers, and speakers for putting out so much of themselfs to lift us up.

I have attended 5 TOFW events and each gets better and better. There were so many wonderful sisters attending. The presenters were amazing. There were several sisters attending with our group that needed to hear the wonderful uplifting presentations. They came away with a renewed sweet assurance.

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I can't tell you enough how glad I am to have gone to TOFW this year.
It was wonderful! I loved Hilary, she was funny, spiritual and inspiring. Kris...I can't even put into works how amazing and wonderful she is. I can't imagine going thru what she has been through, yet still be able to laugh. It really put a lot of things in perspective for me.
Thank you for all being in tune with the spirit. I know there were a few times that I know was meant just for me.
I love you and appreciate the time and sacrifices you all made to spend with us in Orlando. Please come back soon!
Love,

It was awesome! Hilary Weeks was funny and spiritual and I loved her being the "emcee" of the program. Michael McClean was great too and also funny & spiritual and so nice to stay late and meet and hug everyone. All the presenters were down to earth, and funny, interesting and spiritual. I learned so many things, my only regret was that it isn't 30 years ago as this would have benefitted me greatly raising my children. Cheiko was an inspiration. Kris was amazing, funny enough to do stand up comedy and so honest. Like EFY for Women, just a terrific program. PLEASE have one in Orlando every year!!

TOFW is always an inspiration and uplifting experience! I've attended all the TOFW offered in Florida and they just get better and better. My 16 yr. old daughter has also been inspired by the music and singers as this is the career path she is pursuing. Hillary Weeks is so genuine and is a wonderful part of TOFW. Michael McLean's music is simple and true. The speakers this year were interesting and real. The "sweet assurance" theme was a good one and I appreciated having a few minutes on Saturday to meditate and receive inspiration while Hillary played piano. I'd like to thank all the TOFW presenters for their accessibility. I brought a woman with me who lost her eyesight about six years ago- Kris Belcher's talk was awesome and so helpful to all. I know it helped my friend. I recommend TOFW to everyone. We so need the opportunity to refill our cups so that we can continue to uplift and nurture others. Thank you for your willingness to travel, teach, share, and inspire. I'm already excited to attend next year! Sincerely, Dawn and Jessica Shields

It was uplifting! I flew from Seattle to attend the Orlando TOFW to truly have a 'time out". I needed a break to be by myself...I saved money, booked the tickets and went. Some at the seminars said I was brave to come by myself. But I am thinking-not so much. I left my family, my job, my church calling and my responsibilites...how brave is that?! The presenters did not dissapoint and it was worth every sacrifice by me and by my family to join you in Orlando. Thank you! The woman next to me had never been before. I told her it would be a life changing experience and it was. You do great work beyond what you will ever realize. Thanks again.

Some famous entertainers are known by one name or one song. But Michael McLean is known for literally dozens of songs. And his songs say, sometimes almost perfectly, what all of us have felt. Because of that, chances are he’s written one just for you.

She's an important part of TOFW because she really is just one of us. Hilary is a wife and a mother first and foremost; being a brilliant performer is secondary. She's funny and witty but has depth and substance as she shares her testimony of Jesus Christ through her songs.

Skills from the Scriptures (for Good Times & Bad)
When Brent Top was asked to serve as a mission president, he thought he knew what it meant to rely on the Lord. But it wasn't until a personal crisis of confidence that he learned important lessons about what it really means to "focus on Christ" and allow Him to lift and strengthen us. Brent shares key spiritual skills that, when put into practice daily, will sustain you during good times and keep you from sinking during the bad.
