Precious Power- Why Plead Purple?

I didn't see anyone in purple yesterday. Granted,  we were at a Stake Center instead of the Conference Center,  but that's just it isn't it?  I wasn't in China or Japan,  not in Mexico or Guatemala-  I was in Kearns with four of my sisters.  As other women gathered with their mothers,  aunts,  friends,  cousins,   sisters all over the world-    we were united.   We are sisters.  We are God's Daughters.
