Each year, President and Sister Bennion host a lovely event for all the sisters of the mission - "Finding the Treasure."Young sister missionaries visit on the lawn after a lovey lunch hosted by Sister Bennion.
How do we find the treasure?
Sister Bennion's focus was on living life in a way as to "gather" the treasure that will be needed to return back to our eternal home. We learn that the treasure is not what we get, but what we give that prepares us for that eventual return.
The treasure is love - Christlike love.
Senior sisters above are (L to R) Sister de Paula, Sister Comer, Sister Woodruff, Sister Roush, Sister Conlin, Sister West and Sister Bennion. Both Sisters Conlin and West presented informative and creative classes on becoming better people in our quest for the treasure. It was a lovely day.

Sharon, I love the paradox in that concept of "gathering" what we "give", which the scriptures teach time and again. Your blog is awesome. I love reading the anecdotes and about the individuals whose treat it is to get to work with you and Lynn. When do you return to us here in Zion?
The Fireside for the 30th Anniversary of the Priesthood Revelation was exciting on Sunday. I hope you will have the chance to see it and to hear the testimonies of some very elect Saints.
Take Care!!
