SNOW FUN....... YOUTH CONFERENCE 2013

Sandy Utah Hillcrest Youth had a "badgerblast" at Snow College for youth conference. It all started with a Thursday activity at the Draper temple. All youth ages 12 - 18 were invited to participate. Then that evening, President Stringham gave a wonderful devotional. The Youth then had the opportunity to bear their testimonies. It was a great night. On friday the youth met at the stake center at 08:00 to have a quick breakfast and then board the busses to Ephraim Utah, where snow college hosted our conference. Rain threatened to spoil our first activity which was the ropes course. But the heavens smiled upon us and the sun came out just in time to dry the course and allow the kids to have a rare opportunity to learn trust in themselves and others.

A Leap of Faith and Trust

The course was not  for the weak of heart, and our youth rose to the occasion time and time again, new friendships were made, and old friendships were solidified. after the challenge of the ropes course. We had spaghetti for dinner and sang a rousing chorus of happy birthday to President Stewart. He was given some very needed presents. We were given some freetime after dinner. The youth could swim, play basketball,wally ball or just hang out with friends. At 8:30 we held a dance at the activity center. There were youth from our stake and some other youth groups that were having their youth conference at the same time.

Ah Now for a good nights rest.........NOT.
Many of the youth used this time to stay up and talk .... and talk.... and talk. One group consumed so much mountain dew that the companies stock rose 10 percent over night. As the sugar high wore off, there came a banging on the doors...it was time for breakfast. Once breakfast was over it was time for more fun with Badger Games.. we played and played.....then we played some more. as noon approached we went to a pavilion at a nearby church and had a pizza party, then loaded the busses and made the journey home to Sandy. Strangely enough the busses were much quieter on the return, with the exception of a few that were snoring.

Thanks go to our wonderful Stake Presidency for making this possible. Stay tuned a link to pictures will follow.
