Youth Conference

If you guessed Youth Conference (in the post below) you were right. It was a great experience! Definitely the best Youth Conference I have ever been to! That is saying a lot since I figure I have been to TWENTY SIX Youth Conferences or Girl's Camps. Wow. That is a lot of camping with the youth!

Here is a song by the 2nd ward. I LOVE this song so much I keep listening to it. It's a song about trying to be like the amazing leaders and prophets we read about in the Book of Mormon.

Keith and I were asked to go to this camp as a "Lehi and Sariah". Lehi and Sariah are the parents in the first story of the Book of Mormon. We played the parents to a group of 6 teenagers. We participated as a family in lots of fun faith promoting games and would talk to our "family" in the evenings. Most families stayed around camp, but we chose to go off into this beautiful meadow where we were a little more secluded. It was ideal. I loved that meadow. Blake Howell took a picture of our little family from a distance. I'm so grateful for this picture, because it is something I definitely want to remember, plus it's a GREAT picture. Although I don't love getting my picture taken I do appreciate being in a picture rather than taking all of the photos as I usually do.

The costumes you see are our best attempts to inexpensively recreate "Nephite" clothing. We all wore costumes throughout the camp for fun. Haha. Some thought it was fun, but everyone had to wear them. It really was a great weekend!




BTW - In case you didn't know, the Book of Mormon is called "Another Testament of Jesus Christ" because we believe Christ came to America after he was resurrected. The Book of Mormon was written by those that lived here in America. It's called the Book of Mormon only because that is the prophet that compiled the books that make up the record. I love knowing that God loves all of his children and didn't abandon those living in a different part of the world.
