The Relief Society Sisters had a wonderful Activity
We were asked to bring ONE SHOE, to tell an UNUSUAL, FUNNY, or UPLIFTING STORY about when we were wearing the shoe!
Lovely Kathleen Kubo was our speaker.
Kathleen shared her experience with a homeless lady, that had just been
released from prison. This lady became her friend!
Three years later, when Kathleen was at the Oakland Temple, she saw two temple workers. It was her friend & friend's husband who were both now serving in the Temple!!! 😍
Donna is always helping, serving, loving, going & going, the extra mile! THANKS for your Service!
Angie brought her temple shoe! She worked
MANY hours in the Temple, washing, cleaning, training and serving in her Temple
Shoes.
Stacey brought her roller skates, AND she still SKATES!!
Aren't those pink wheels and pink laces just perfect for Stacey!! 💗
When 18 year old Charlotte arrived at work, she realized she had two different shoes on! So being a clever young girl, she took some bandages and wrapped one of her feet and pretended she had experienced an injury! 🤣🤣
While serving in the Nauvoo Mission,
Donna P. wore Pioneer Dress Boots. She put a lot of MILES on them!
Ginny is into sports, watching, her children and grandchildren participate, as well as participating herself. She and Doug had a farm in Marriott-Slatterville, UT for many years, where her work boots were used. She wore out her nicer boots while a Relief Society President for 14 YEARS!
While living in Salt Lake City, Judy worked for a Wood Working Company. Soon we will ALL get to see some of the beautiful wood from the Company, that her
"BOOTS"
saw - at the newly renovated St George Temple!
Jill’s
Grandfather was a shoemaker, from England! He had the assignment from his company to design a new shoe for
women. Women wore lace-up shoes
during the 1920’s. His design was the
first pump shoe. It was entered in the
Paris France Expedition, in approximately 1921. The shoe was wildly popular and women wanted them!! Jill was given the small
shoes that were used as a mock-up for the full sized shoes.
Ardis’s Mother Bronzed Ardis' Baby Shoes. What a special memory for her, as her Mother just passed away at the age of 99!
Barbara brought her Organ Shoes and told
a little of her 56 year journey of playing organs in MANY places!
Rhonda showed us her Dance Shoe! Sounds like she had many years of great
💃💃dancing experiences!💃💃
Laura brought a work boot and told us
the fun story of when she and her husband decided it was a good idea to buy and
raise calves!! 🤣🤣
Mary
Ann told us the story of her “Broken Leg, Boot Cast,” that lead to her Baptism, and her family joining the Church!
Lora and her husband have served several missions. She showed us her "MISSIONARY SHOE" that has been through challenging and wonderful Missionary experiences! (Lora, did you lock the temple?) 🤣
Renae’s ordered "REALLY
CUTE SHOES" on-line, and it turned into a complicated, but really fun story!
Of course we had a scrumptious lunch with Salads and Cupcakes!
We had BEAUTIFUL, BEAUTIFUL FLOWER arrangements everywhere!
Thank you Beverly Hunter!
MANY pairs
of gently used shoes were brought to donate to SWITCHPOINT, as well as socks!
