Youth Conference 08

We did it! Our Youth Conference was this past weekend, and I'm glad it's over, but I'm also glad I got to be a part of it.

I say it over and over again, but the youth here are AMAZING! And so unified. It's a lot of work putting something like this together, but the youth in Saipan are unlike any youth I've ever seen. They make it all much easier and much more rewarding.

Today we had our testimony meeting, and I was really touched by the love that I felt for and from all of these kids (loads of testimonies and loads of tears). It's going to be really hard to move away from all of them in a year.

We be jammin'

Youth Conference

Planning this Youth Conference was the biggest church responsibility I've ever taken on, and now I can say, the most rewarding. Because we live on a small island, the kids really only have each other, but you'll never hear them complain. Instead, they're all best friends with huge smiles and huge testimonies. Eric and I love these kids. The youth and the branch is probably what we'll miss most about this island.
