Youth Conference

Youth Conference was AMAZING! we were asked to go to youth conference with a question in mind, and I decided that my question was going to be about whether or not I should serve a mission, and why I should serve a mission. The first night my question was answered. We were meeting at our Mission Presidents house and he told us that the only reason he was still active in the church and that he got married in the temple was because the girl he was dating right before his mission told him that she wouldn't marry him unless he was a return missionary. He looked at all the girls and told us that, that is what we need to expect from the person we want to marry. Then he looked at all the boy and he said the exact same thing. That hit me really hard. That, I want someone to expect me to go on a mission so that not only can he be an example to our children but so can I. Then my Mission President looked at each of us and said, "There is no reason not to." That also hit me really hard. And it's so true. The Lord needs us all on His side. And I really want to be able to be an example to my daughters, that they should serve a mission. So, I guess I got my answer. It was an amazing experience and it taught me a lot about being a missionary. I don't know everything, and I know it's going to be really, REALLY hard but at least I'm that much further along.


Here's before and after of a really fun mud fight we had:
