Youth Conference

Youth Conference was so much fun and i loved it so much. Thyda, her boyfriend, Joharrah, some of our young men, and i all pack our bags and "enjoyed" a long bus ride to Palmyra, New York where we stayed for three days. was so much fun and David seemed cool with all of our precullar mormon stuff. he actoually seemed to enjoy himself at the sights as much as the members!

We went to the Granden Press, the Smith Farm, the Sacred Grove, Hill Comorah (where we saw the new Joseph Smith movie that i really loved!), and we finished it all off with the Whitmer Farm, where the first church meeting was held. i could really feel the spirit at our vacation there, i even felt it at the crazy dance party at Keuka College. i know that the chiurch is true and at my second visit to "the Cradle of the Restoration" i could feel the spirit that radiated from these sacred sights. we are so lucky that we could go there for Youth Conference and i bet that my cousins back in Utah are all really jealous of the Cambridge Stakes spiritual excursion.

Missionary Prep Combined Activity

You all worked so hard last Wednesday...learning a few things that missionaries have to do on their missions.

1. Knocking on doors to preach the gospel

2. Ironing clothes so you look clothing and suits will look sharp!




3. Cooking your own food (but in this case, cookies..)


..mmm, those cookies were good, too!

I wanted to post this picture (and I know you'll all be mad at me for doing so) BUT...I have a good reason. I love how you are all just sitting here together. You are such a united bunch of girls. It's so nice to see a group of girls who are all different get along so well. That is truly a remarkable thing. I think our Heavenly Father is so proud to have a daughters like you...

Temple Marriage Night

These are pictures from our "Temple Marriage" activity. We had some delicious wedding cake, discussed why a temple marriage is so important, and then we watched clips from some of the leader's wedding videos.


As you girls looked at our wedding pictures and watched the video clipes, we noticed that there were lots of "aww..."s and sparkling eyes.....we know you girls are excited to one day marry the man of your dreams in the temple! We hope that you'll keep this as your goal and never settle for "till death do you part". How wonderful the day will be when you are married to your eternal companion "For Time and All Eternity."
