Youth Conference

Jason and I just recently returned from Youth Conference. It was a lot of work and of course a lot of fun. We did a Book of Mormon Quest and were tribe leaders. We only had 1 kid from our ward in our tribe, but that turned out okay. I was a little worried about who would be in our tribe, but the kids we got were amazing. According to them, we were "the nice parents, because we let them do what ever they wanted." The truth was, they were always where they were supposed to be and never did anything to get in trouble. We Loved it!!!

The stake put on multiple reenactments from the Book of Mormon and they were really amazing. I don't know if the kids got anything from it, but I sure did. It really brought the Book of Mormon to life.

We ended the week with a reenactment of the second coming of Christ. We were woke up Friday morning at 4:00am to the sound of wind and thunder and our tents shaking. We then walked in the dark up into a meadow. They continued to play the sounds of the wind and thunder for about 30 minutes and then the actor playing Christ appeared in the trees. I couldn't believe how quiet 200+ kids could be, as the actor walked among them.
