Youth Conference

This year, for youth conference, the stake decided to do a hike from Ephraim Canyon down to Manti Canyon. Earlier in the year, they asked Jeff and I to be in charge of the activities for the conference. This ended up involving hauling up the tractor, building a bridge, creating a faith walk, over 3,000 otter pops, and so much more! It was a lot of work, but it paid off. The youth had a blast! It was fun to see them enjoying themselves while building their faith. This is such a crucial time in their lives. There is so much working against them that it's nice to be surrounded by youth participating in an activity that is meant to build them up. Dallin and Jonas joined us for the weekend. Dallin participated in the conference while Jonas "helped" Jeff and I. Honestly, I'm not sure how much help Jonas or I were during that time, but we enjoyed buzzing up and down the mountain on the side by side and playing outdoors. One afternoon, Jonas had enough sun and dust so we stayed in Manti (at the RV park we were camping at) and explored the temple, went swimming, played on a playground, and went into town for some ice cream. All in all, I feel like it was a success.
