Youth Conference Wrap Up

So the final day of Youth Conference... We had a major service project. I am telling the truth... I liked it alot. I feel good when I do service. It was a lot of work but we had a good time. Should I mention names on these blog thingys? I don't know so I will say... me and another lauerl and the Bishop's son were on sweeping crew. The bishop's son is the funniest kid I know. He kept us entertained while we were out there in the scorching heat sitting on the asphalt. We got a good job too because we didn't get in trouble for taking breaks due to the heat. Know what else I like? Being the last car load to places. Me and a friend got hooked up with slurpees on the way to dinner. We were late but the driver didn't care cause it was freakin hott.
At the church... we were able to hear from an EFY speaker (my 9th grade seminary teacher) Brother Rose. He is a pretty cool guy. I was glancing over at some of the leaders and they seemed to be a little bored. But hey... the youth were loving all his stories. I don't think that some adults realize that seminary teachers like to talk for 1/2 hour to 45 minutes about who knows what then they get to their spiritual moment. Oh well, I enjoyed it.
After dinner... the good old youth water fights break out. I don't like those because people do stupid things.
After a long weekend... we ended the events swimming at KOPFC. My stomping grounds. YAHOO. WE rented out 2 of the pools that night. It was a lot of fun. I jumped off the white platform for the first time. I don't think that I will ever do that again. It was quite a rush.
Overall... I have analyzed this youth conference. I think it was LETS SEE HOW TIRED WE COULD GET EVERYONE YOUTH CONFERENCE. I have to admitt... I was pooped. I think a lot of other people were pooped as well. Oh well... My hats off to everyone who put it together.

Yea - I think that's the whole point of Youth Conference; child slavery. They're just trying to wear you down.
