The past few weeks I have had a few--very distinct--opportunities to visit with some women in my ward. I have gotten to know them a little better, have gained a greater understanding of Heavenly Father's love for me and them, and have come home feeling so utterly blessed in my own life. Blessed not only because I have gained greater understanding of the incredible life I was given, but also blessed with the beautiful testimonies, and strength that these women have so graciously shared with me.
I am writing, I hope carefully, about these experiences, and I am going to share them with you. My wish is that I will be able to convey some of their life experience to you, and be able to accurately record my impressions and lessons that I have learned from watching and listening to these women. Their tragedy and their triumph translating into my own life lessons.
