Women’s Conference Was Twitterific

On Saturday September 26, 2015 the fall General Conference of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints officially began with General Women’s Session held bi-annually for all women and girls age 8 and up. As circumstances would have it, I could not attend the meeting nor tune in via radio or live streaming. I was in a very public place. However, I did have a phone that I could glance at. So, I pulled up my Twitter account and watched the feed. Sure enough, “live tweets” started pouring in with hashtags such as #womenssession, #lds and #ldsconf. I began reading all of the highlighted quotes and personal impressions of all my fellow sisters (and brothers) watching globally, and I shook my head in amazement;

“Wow! I’m seriously getting the play-by-play here!”

Of course there were duplication quotes during the talks, but that was OK (we learn by repetition, right?)

My soul was lifted. My mind was enlightened. And, although I looked forward to hearing and reading the messages in depth later on, it actually turned out to be the most inspirational “twitterific experience” I’ve ever had. Yes, I totally just made up that word – but I wouldn’t be surprised if #twitterific already exists (didn’t check).

So… I just want to send a big shout out and thank you to all of the sisters who were sharing Women’s Conference via the social media bird.

Here are just a few of the quotes that stood out and enlightened me:

This quote by President Dieter F. Uchtdorf of the First Presidency (the only male speaker at the session)

And this awesome quote by President Uchtdorf (created here into a short video)!

Last but not least – this song – which I couldn’t hear via Twitter, but did enjoy later on. Such a very nice arrangement and beautiful harmonies from these bright sisters both tall and small!

I’m sooooo looking forward to the next five sessions of General Conference beginning tomorrow (happy dance!) – Saturday October 3 through Sunday October 4.

I am incredibly blessed to experience the messages LIVE this time. Be sure to check out times and places in your area at this link here.
