Play Group

Yesterday at the park, we met some friends. Today we went to their play group. Mabel has been dying to play with other kids since we moved here. Even though she was the oldest kid in the group by almost 2 years, she had a lot of fun. It was nice for me, too. It made me realize how great our church is. Beside having the truthfulness of the gospel (which is amazing, of course), we have the wonderful social organization of the church as well. These nice LDS girls (who are not in my ward, but only live a few blocks away) so graciously allowed me into their circle, fed my children lunch, and didn't even mind that I was a stranger. It didn't matter because we all share a faith and a sisterhood. Ever since I have been old enough to attend Relief Society, I have had such a testimony of its organization. I know that it is divine. I love that I can move to a new state, where I don't know anyone, and walk into a group of Relief Society sisters and immediately feel like I belong. I am so grateful for the Gospel, for the lessons it teaches me, for the purpose it gives my life, and for the friendships it provides.
