YOUTH CONFERENCE






Our theme for Youth Conference was being COMMITED to standing STEADFAST and IMMOVABLE(CSI)in living the gospel of Jesus Christ. We left Friday at 4 and took about 60 youth and 12 leaders to a cabin up Timberlake in Heber. IT WAS BEAUTIFUL!!! The cabin was gorgeous, the setting was breath taking. Sue and Jerry Rapier came JUST to cook. We walked in to the smell of tri tip steak grilling and cream cheese brownies...um..I'm never going to get these new 8 pounds off. The food all weekend was AMAZING!! Johnny Harline came to speak to them that night (YEP! THE JOHNNY HARLINE!!! Even the girls who weren't so football crazy seemed to know who he was)
It was fun to be there with Spencer and Sam...Josh didn't come up until saturday because of his Senior Dinner Dance. It was wierd to think of Don home ALONE...but he assured me that there was NOTHING wierd about it...just very NICE.
I'm only going to include a few of my pictures here. I'll start another BLOG and dump ALL of the pictures there for you girlies...and I'll put all of our other class pictures up there as well.

Saturday we did alot of team building games and activities and then paralled them back to life and the priorities we can choose from. We talked about being the difference in other people's lives. We sledded and boarded and played cards and stayed up way too late!!! it snowed again Saturday night so getting all the cars out was a nightmare...they got the kids home just in time for another 3 hours of church...just a few slept through the last 2!!
Anyone planning a YC...this was a great weekend and I'd love to share the plan so you don't have to reinvent the wheel!
