Youth Conference



They were so dirty everyday!
Every evening they would get these ducks with a note attached of all the things they needed to have the next day. It was the "getting your ducks in a row" note.

We were a little concerned about our ward youth conference this year. First you have to understand that our Stake President doesn't do anything small. This year he decided that our youth should do a service project. No, not just A service project, but 12. There would be 12 teams and each would go out and do a different project. All together I think they re-roofed 7 houses, built two handicap ramps onto houses and did 4 other home improvement/landscaping projects. Then after working out in the summer heat all day they met in the evenings for activities. Fun, but tiring! However, it turned out to be such an amazing experience for the youth. Braden had a really great time. Because I am a YW leader I got the opportunity to spend two of the days on two different roofing projects. It was amazing to see how the kids just jumped in and got the work done.
