I had the time of my life this Wednesday- Saturday at youth conference!
On Wednesday we got there and found out who our roommates were, had dinner, sat by the camp fire and eat S'mores, and played games!
On Thursday we had a morning devotional and then a 4 hour service project, we learned how to play this awesome game called P.D.Q., then all the YW and YM went swimming, then we had the best fireside ever by a friend of my families Bishop Slater about missionary work and I really want to serve a mission so I'm trying to prepare now!
(THE BEST DAY EVER!)On Friday my dad gave a devotional and wrote a really good poem that made all my leaders cry! Then had another service project for 4 hours, and after that we went on a zip line and rock climbed! Friday was the best day for me because it was most spiritual. We had a faith walk were we walked to a maze and everyone put on a blindfold and someone would lead you through maze and then to the iron rod. It reminded me of the pre-existence waiting to come to earth, you could hear their feet on the gravel and it made you want to go with them through the maze. At the same time I was hoping that everyone would make it to the end. It was completely silent and the spirit was strong! When I got through the maze and to the end of the rod I sat on benches with other people who had made it and waited for everyone to come sit with us. After that we started our testimony meeting!!! That was the best! Tears filled my eyes everytime someone spoke. Then my friend who had stopped going to church got up and bore her testimony and then said she would start coming back to church. That was the strongest I had ever felt the spirit and I could hardly breathe! I had been praying for her for a while and she had become pretty close to me! I saw he today at church!
Saturday- we came home! :)
