This was my first time to TOFW, even though I had heard about it for some years. I have to say that it wasn't what I expected, but in a GOOD way! I came out of this conference wanting to be a better person. I am far from perfect, but I felt totally loved.
Heather
Just what I needed! Good laughs, spiritual rejuvenation and a sweet assurance that Christ is truly the source of all healing!
Kendra
Absolutely amazing!! It was just what I needed. I cried because I was laughing so hard and I cried because I felt the spirit so strong. Thank you, thank you for putting on such a wonderful event.
Amy
I just got home tonight for your event in Salt Lake City. I am so impressed with the presenters and the musical preformers. I wish sometimes I had their talent. But as I sat today and listened, I know I recieved revelation from my Heavenly Father for every member of my family, including myself. I was inspired and changed because I was apart of your event. Emily Watts spoke today about a mother whose daughter became pregnant at 14. I too got pregnant early, 17 almost 18 and was a single mother for five years. It was a struggle but in those trials and the ones I have had since, I became who I really am. I am grateful for the Lord and his blessings on each of us. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and feelings with me today. You are all amazing women, Michael is great too. I love that I can go to an event like this and be surrounded with women just like me trying to become like our Savior. Thanks again for a wonderful two days, I hope someday to be more involved with events like this.

I very nearly called my mom and sisters and told them I couldn't attend. A couple of my children were having anxiety about me being gone overnight, and it felt like things were conspiring against me getting away. I am so glad that I made it out of the house alive. The entire event was inspirational, and brought healing to my life-weary soul. I felt such a spirit there among so many women. I hope I never forget the things I learned there, and the hope that blossomed. I can't wait until I can attend again.

Music Artist
You don't need an entire symphony when you're listening to the violin being played by the highly acclaimed and accomplished Jenny Oaks Baker. From the fun to the serene, Jenny's repertoire of music is an impressive musical feast.

Musical Presentation
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.

Motherhope
Do you ever have moments when you think that the entrance to motherhood ought to have a sign proclaiming, “Abandon hope, all ye who enter here”? With her trademark combination of stories and insights, Emily Watts shows just how much there is for moms to hope for (sign not included).

It’s a Creation, Not a Gift
Though some may believe hope is a gift we either have or don’t have, Michael believes hope is something we create consciously. And he has the scripture stories to back that up. You’ll discover that hope becomes the natural emotional consequence of living key gospel principles.

Moving a Rubber Tree Plant
We know some of you know that song—you know, the one about the ant? Really? You don’t? Well, then, you are in for a treat. MEE has been learning about resilience: how to get it, how to keep it, and what to do with it. And she’s sharing life lessons from her own personal journey.

Facing the Sun
Being diagnosed with cancer and ultimately losing her sight initially left Kris Belcher in a hopeless state. But, she learned that when she walked, facing the light of the sun, the light from THE Son filled her dark world with a light only He could give.
