Youth Conference 2012

What a blast!!!  That is how I describe this years Youth Conference.  We have an amazing group of youth in this ward.  "Are you Ready"  was the theme this year.  It wasn't anything specific, we just wanted the youth to ask themselves, "Are You Ready" for the next step or steps in your lives.  Anything from college, marriage, defending your beliefs, sharing your testimony, etc.   The Scripture we used was D&C 38:30.  We went down to Monticello and did baptisms in the temple.  WE did over 200 names!  We went rafting in Moab, Hiking in the beautiful mountains of Monticello and played in the water in Moab.  We had great food, laughed and played games.  Thanks to everyone for a great time.
