Youth Conference by Whitney

Last week our ward had youth conference, and it was so cool! First we all met at a park that is in a Church's "backyard". We split into groups, and went to go offer service. We would go to a house, knock on the door, and ask the people that lived there if they had anything that we could do for them. The answer was almost always, "weeding". After a few hours of this we all met back at the pavilion for lunch, and then we went to our classes. There were five. They were about patriarchal blessings, marriage, scripture study, media, and so forth.

After that we had a carnival and it was really cool. They had a snow cone machine, a Cotton candy machine, a dunk chair, and a climbing wall! Plus all the wards had a different activity, like ring toss, water balloon trow, it was tons of fun!!

Then we had dinner, and after everyone went home for an hour to get changed and ready for the dance. It was the first dance I had been to, so I mostly stuck to a group of my friends, but it was a ton of fun! Cant wait till next year!

Me being the D.J. for the not-really-a-cake-but-actually-a-liquorice-walk at the carnival.

You are having such an excellent summer. But I would find another dance instructor. I can't remember seeing him dance before.
