Sisters' Conference

Sister Maughan (in the white dress her mother made especially for the occasion) was the engine behind this Fall's Sisters' Conference.  Here she is passing out homemade chocolates to Sisters McArthur, Simpson, Klaass and Ete.

We began the day with a meditative nature walk along the Potomac River.
Here I am with brand-new Sister Ram from Hawaii.

Sister Case (here giving a 2-minute warning) led us in a getting-acquainted activity 

Sister Maughan and Sister Whiteford shared some hair
and make-up tips from their pre-mission expertise
as professional stylists.

 

Sister Simpson and her committee did flowers and tables

I regret not getting pictures of so many other sisters who made the day a success, the musicians, the slideshow producers, the speakers and conductors.

Oh, how I cherish our incredible sisters!!
