So I am now catching up on some of my pictures... Sam and I participated in Youth Conference as Youth Leaders. It was great. The theme this year was We Believe and the main focus was the 13 Articles of Faith. Each Group got an AoF and we got number 2... Thus we were the Garden of Eden group!!! The pictures are from our service project. Our Stake really wanted to have our youth participate at Give Kids the World. It is a place here in Florida that is somewhat like the Make a Wish Foundation. It is a little village where kids with terminal illness and their families get to come and stay for a week. It is a place where they can leave the world behind and get a little piece of paradise. So they planned the youth conference around this and then found out that you have to be 16 to volunteer there and some of the youth are 14 and 15. So they came up with different projects and ours was to clean up an retirement communities yard. They were sweet people and we were able to do some good. I do not have any other pictures, I hope to be able to get them from the photographer.
We brought the people there stuffed animals and they loved it. We got a letter in the mail from them a few weeks later, thanking us for our service. Yay for the youth and their hard work...
Our Whole Group!!! GO GARDEN OF EDEN!!!
