Wow time to update


We had a very fun Youth Conference at the beginning of this month and I think the youth had a great time. They decided to plan it around Utah county so they could do more things. We had a kick off at a park up the canyon, they played games, acted out some skits, saw a Hakka, played in the river, and ate yummy cobblers. The next day they went to hike the "Y" in the rain, and then went to a ropes coarse. I wasn't able to go do to work but all the girl met at my house and layed out their things to sleep and then we went to the bishop's house to have an indoor BBQ and watch Forever Strong on the projector in their living room. Then on Sat the kids and their parents came to the church for breakfast and a speaker. The speaker was amazing! He talked about fear and how the Lord is always there to comfort and guide us. Then we watched a slide show of pictures and video taken over the coarse of youth conference. I know they all had a blast. I think the leaders had a pretty good time too. :-)
My brother has 5 months left on his mission!! Its insane how fast its gone! He has a new goal now to have a baptism a week, which is crazy but I guess anything can happen when you have the Lord working in your favor. I love him and can't wait to see him in November!
