I don't usually blog about my calling but this was an event that I just had to write about... For Youth Conference this year we decided to do a winter one! It was the best decision we have ever made and seriously had the time of our lives. We went to Aspen Grove up by Sundance. We headed up on a Thursday night and when we got there we unpacked, had dinner and then introduced the theme for the YC it was "we believe" which is the theme for the year for the youth program. Then the girls planned some skits and we acted them out. Everyone was such good sports about it and willing to participate. Later we played some games, ate snacks, played some more and then watched a movie and then went to bed. On Friday we woke up had breakfast and then did a service project. We then made hats, bracelets and got ready for lunch. After lunch we went x-country skiing and I don't think I've ever laughed harder in my life. It was so much fun. After that we had free time, played more games and then had dinner. After dinner we went glow in the dark sledding. The snow was so deep up there that you would walk and sink all of the way to your waist. After sledding we had a guest speaker talk to the youth about being true and it was amazing. Following him we had a wii dance off and then went to bed. Saturday morning we had breakfast and then a testimony meeting. It was such a great weekend and a huge boost for all of us. The food and accomodations were amazing and we couldn't have asked for a better Youth Conference. I'm so grateful for my calling and for the opportunities like this that I get to spend with the Youth in my ward.
