Youth Conference

Chris and I spent this past weekend at youth conference. We had such a great time hangin' out with the Youth! We all met up on Thursday night. The conference was a medieval theme so we were all separated into 4 teams to compete against one another. We were the leaders of the red team aka Lions of the Phoenix Zoo. We spent the whole weekend doing activities to gain points. At each meal, the team with the lowest score had to eat a special meal...or rather, a very un-special meal. Lunch and dinner for the losing teams was canned chicken and crackers and breakfast was plain oatmeal with no sugar or anything. Luckily, the only "bad" meal our team had was breakfast. I happen to like plain oatmeal, as long as I can have some milk on it. On Friday morning we had a few classes then went ice skating. It was a nice way to spend a hot summer day. Saturday we did a service project pulling weeds at an organic garden at the U of A farms followed by mud football and later swimming. That evening, there was a special program followed by a fireside with our stake president. We had such a great time and are excited to be planning our stake youth conference in November.
