Of course they couldn't resist racing down the hill...we are considering child leashes. Just Kidding!! These girls are so much fun!

The gardens at Thanksgiving Point have newly installed a garden centered around Jesus Christ. We took some time to look at each statue and the story around that statue. It was a great night!

Stake Youth Conference Video

Here is a link to the video the stake put together of Youth Conference. I know I saw Sister Fisher in one cute hat during it. :)

Youth Conference

This year our Stake planned an excellent Youth Conference at Snow College in Ephraim, UT. The girls got to do a ropes course where they learned to work as a team, rely on one another, and face their fears. They also got to see the Manti Pageant at the foot of the the beautiful Manti Temple where the beginnings of our Church are re-enacted and the Spirit can truly be felt.

We were also privileged to hear some excellent speakers and be reminded about using social media responsibly and sparingly, remembering to uphold our responsibility to do Family History, and that these very special youth are meant to stand out, not to fit in!

We have some excellent youth in our ward, and we all wished that everyone could have come and shared the amazing time we had.

Lunch does the body good!

Alexa was SO brave climbing the obstacle and taking the 'Leap of Faith'

While claiming not to be athletic, Abagael proved she's got what it takes!

Water Balloons!

Summer is here and after a bit of a postponement we finally got to do our water balloon activity. The youth played water balloon dodge ball and "splish splash sploosh" (their variation of duck duck goose)! They had a great time as always.

Bailey getting the "sploosh"!

Nothing like some ice cream after being soaked by water balloons!

Dare to Stand Alone

I just watched this video and thought I would share it. It takes courage to do what is right especially when it isn't popular. Just remember, 

"We are never alone when we stand with our Father in Heaven." - Pres. Thomas S. Monson
