And walked...and walked.....10 MILES!
I guess there are many blessings when it comes to being a YW President. One of them is I get to go to Youth Conference! This year we split it into two days. We had a 14 and up day back in July. And this past Saturday we had the other half. We walked from Adam-Ondi-Omen to President Freestones house. A total of about 10 miles! (We were told it was only 5!)
It was a long day....here is our group with our mini-covered wagon.
The hike was a blast....EXCEPT for a few things. We had our lunch stolen from another ward...so we had to bum food off of the wards around.
We got yelled at by a Northern ward...wont say which. :) Our little group was passing a ward with 8 wagons, and they got a little upset that we were messing up there line. Oooops!
I did find a few faces I knew!
My cute brother!
And my 12 year old cousin!!! AHHH!!! So weird to see SAM at a Youth Activity!!!! He was a trooper... he got in front of all the wagons with our little group! Don't worry Nat, he was a trooper!
After we arrived at President Freestones, we played some games and had a bonfire, where the Stake President gave a nice little sex talk to our youth! Those poor 12 and 13 year olds!!!
After that we went to the barn for a "specail" dance....??? Umm, it was more like teaching the kids for 15 minutes to square dance and then everyone stood around due to the blue grass music they played the remainder of the time. Poor kids...they really wanted a real dance. Oh well, maybe next time will be a little better. But the trek was a blast! Plus, I survived!
