Stake Youth Conference

Last weekend, (yes it has been a week!) our stake had youth conference. As you might have read in my mom's blog, come Friday night, I was not in the best mood and wasnt really that motivated to go. But Bro. Gale called, and asked me to say the opening prayer.UGH. I have no problem saying prayers in seminary, or Sunday School, but at youth conference in front of the whole stake?? I was actually pretty nervous; Lexi was trying to hold back her rebukes, like "Its just a prayer!" But I went, and had a great time. The prayer was really short, and if I was doing this over again, I would have been more thoughtful with it. But anyways, I got Spencer Larson's autograph! Ok so i had no idea who this guy was until then, but he plays for the Broncos...

So he talked to us, we played games, and then ate dessert. Thomas, who is not even in our stake, showed up haha. It was fun.

Saturday morning, I am at the church at 6 ready to hike. We went over to San Tan Mountains. During the hike, I stay with Lexi but mostly Joel. It was fun, just talking. When we got to the top, Bro. Sterling talked to us, then Joel and I ran down the mountain. It was SO fun because it was the first time in...three months that I have ran (run? I feel stupid...gone running?). But my shin did not hurt at all! YAY. Then we did a service project at Coronado, and then ate lunch.

Later that night, we had a devotional by our patriarch, Bro. Huber. He is an amazing man. We gave Austin, a blind boy in our stake, a ride back to the church. It was really cool talking to him; he loves music and knows SO many different types. Then we had a talent show, and dance. There are so many talented people in my stake! The dance was fun, but there were only 3 or 4 slow dances, and for one of them, the DJ set me up with my brother's friend. My eighth grade brother. I wouldn't have minded if it was Mike's friend, but not Nick's. Awkward.
