Youth Conference

I’ll let Kathy tell more about this, but it was really neat to be with all the youth of our ward for the trip up to Salt Lake last Wednesday and Thursday (6/25 - 6/26). I mainly spent the trip watching Elina with Jeralyn, Matt, and Leah. Elina seemed to enjoy herself, but she was a little whirlwind. She got on this spitting kick, and thought it was so fun to spit on their end table, not to mention my face. :) It was very nice to be on Temple Square and see some of the exhibits, and also the Joseph Smith movie. I’m so grateful to be a part of the Church and its wonderful and inspired heritage. ~Bryce

My Mia Maid Councilor came up with a great idea to visit Humanitarian Square up in SLC for an activity. The perfect opportunity came for Ward Youth Conference (they alternate between ward & stake) It took a lot of planning but was fun/rewarding to see the hard work come to fruition. We served at the Humanitarian Center, hiked, visited the Salt Lake Temple and had an all around great time. It's much different as a leader though. When I was a youth, I had no idea the effort it took to put on a Girls Camp or Youth Conference. I just showed up and had a great time. I should have been soo much more grateful for my leaders. I guess we all learn...eventually :)
