Winter Youth Conference

Put on the whole armour of God!
Fiercely making us pancakes!
My cute girls!

Keep cooking the breakfast! So GOOD!

It's seriously is the best to be able to work with the youth. And it's even better because Jeff and I both get to work with them so it's even more fun when we have weekend long activities! Plus - I feel like I'm a youth without having to worry about the awkwardness and worry of being a youth - IT'S THE BEST! But this last weekend we had our ward youth conference and it was so much fun! We were supposed to go camping but it was raining. So instead we did beach bonfire, slumber party (which involved lots of toilet paper, water balloons, guitar hero, and M&M's), good devotionals, car dancing, and the tide pools. Our theme was putting on the whole armour of God. I swear I get way more out of it then all the youth, but my testimony is always strengthened and I always come away with the most amazing perspective on life. Oh and it helps that we have the worlds most fun and awesome youth!

I think it would be fun to work with the Young Women...maybe one day! At this rate, I will still be single and I will still be able to relate to the awkwardness and frustrations of the youth! Ha! Then again, maybe not, since things are going well with my boyfriend!

Sounds like you guys had a fun conference. I loved the picture of the guys cooking in the kitchen. Do all the church's have such ugly kitchens? Way to keep the pankakes rolling, Jeff.

Reading this post totally made me miss being laurel advisor in HB1! How fun that you are still in there. Hey when will your business website be up?

I love the youth too. Cade and I are both in YM and YW. It is a little harder with kids..ie we have to switch off mutual nights, but I wouldn't have it any other way. You must be the best youth leaders ever because you are so fun.

You definitely are perfect for that calling. Jeff seems pretty into it too. I remember how much I looked up to my YW leaders as I am sure they look up to you.
