*Joshua 1:9*

"...Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest."

Youth Conference 2010 was an InCrEdIbLe experience for Calli and I. I'm so glad we had the chance to go! So here's the agenda...

Thursday consisted of..

-Getting to Big Bear in the coolest car I've ever seen in my entire life (it's a LaDyBuG!),

-Reuniting with friends I haven't seen for two weeks when school got out,

-Snagging some free postcards,

-Visiting the lake,

-Sitting and listening,

-LOTS AND LOTS of dancing,

-a few games,

-and a couple hours of sleeping!

Over Friday, we...

-attended three workshops mostly about...,

-ran our version of The Amazing Race,

There were 14 "pit stops" total. Some of them were building an LA temple replica, canoeing across the lake, eating a cricket (yes, you read that right and in my opinion they tasted pretty good), eating a Twinkie with no hands (which made me want to puke), memorizing and performing a hymn as a group, and knowing all 25 scripture masteries!

THIS, I am proud to say, is NOT our replica. I took this off Facebook. Ours had a pretty legit Moroni on top, which I am proud to take credit for!:)

-and performed our well-prepared lip sync (I'll Make a Man Out of You),

The last day, Saturday, was filled with...

-more workshops from Brother Rast and President Carlson,

-a beautiful song from Riley,

-a ride home in the, once again, coolest car I've ever seen in my entire life (with some sleeping),

-dinner, courtesy of the In-N-Out Truck,

-a testimony meeting, and a whole lot more dancing!

Youth Conference this year has been one to remember! I am so glad I had the chance to go camping to feel the Spirit and gain a greater testimony of the Gospel. And, how lucky am I to have one of the BeSt Young Women's Presidents ever!?!? I am so happy that my last year in yw will be spent with someone I look up to so much! Kerrie is a great example and ALL of the young women love her!
