This taught me a lot about her leadership style and her capacity to love. People can teach us even when they aren&#8217;t speaking to us. She was just a tiny speck from where we were sitting, but I could see how people reacted to her focused attention and how she maneuvered from shaking hands with apostles to hugging a little 12 year old girl.

Their words inspire me to do better.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Paige and I got to go to the Conference Center tonight to see the General Young Women Meeting.
