We had so much fun at Youth Conference this week! We went with our ward up AF Canyon. The camp theme was "For the Strength of You". Our T Shirts had the chinese symbol for Strength on them and they said "For the Strength of You".
There were presenters (adults in our ward who volunteered to come up and help) that presented on all of the topics in the For the Strength of Youth pamphlet (FSOY) (yes, even sexual purity). We each had our own personalized journals that the youth made during an activity earlier in the month.
We each got a personalized cover page with our name on it so that we could make our own personalized FSOY journal.
The presenters talked about their assigned FSOY standard and then gave everyone papers that had stories, quotes, and scriptures that had to do with each standard. Then at the end of each packet there were questions about the standard and a place for the youth to write their testimonies.
(Branden is paying special attention during the repentance workshop :)
Each "family" had a color. Branden and I were the "Ma and Pa" of the green family. We got green shirts and bandanas and we made a Green Family flag. Our flag contents were in a box in the bushes about halfway through our hike. We had to use the contents to make a flag.
We decided to cut our hands out of fabric and decorate them and make a "Family Tree". We only glued the palms of our hands to the flag and let the fingers flap in the wind like leaves.
We had so much fun. We get so many blessings with Branden's calling! Our "family" was fantastic and we didn't want to come home.
