I just finished up my first session of EFY (Especially for Youth) up at Utah State, in Logan. It is amazing, incredible, and absolutely fantrasamalastic! It involves lots of things, including Family Home Evening, games, classes, lessons, scripture study, lots and lots of prayers, crappy food (vanilla yogurt resembles Elmer’s glue), dances, pizza, music, hat-knitting on looms, fun counselors, tons o’ teenagers, testimony meetings, devotionals, and the presence of the Hoy Ghost at every activity. The hours are long (6 am to 12 am, 6 days a week), but it is the most fulfilling job I have ever had. It is an amazing gift and blessing to be able to see the Spirit touch these teenagers and work changes in their hearts and lives. I also love hearing their testimonies every Thursday night; the faith and knowledge these kids have about the Gospel is incredibly amazing to hear. I am humbled and strengthened when I hear them. What else can I say, except I LOVE EFY!!!!

21...and waiting

Due to many questions, comments, and concerns, I just wanted to let my peeps know that I am still waiting for my mission call to come. There are few options as to why it hasn't come yet: A) I am being rejected...I'm fairly certain this isn't happening, though B) They are opening up a new mission for me (this is my mom's belief). C) My paperwork got lost. D) Heavenly Father is trying to teach me about patience and faith. I'm going with options B or D. For everyone who is as anxious as I am, don't worry, I will call, text, email, and make a post when my call does come. What a sweet day that will be!!
