Conference for Youth

Our stake planned a Youth Conference for our youth group and several others in our area. It was very well done. Looking back I can't believe how much we did. There was an emphasis on having everyone bring a friend. I think all the boys in my group invited and brought a friend to tag along to most of our events (except one who moved into our ward a week or two before) .

For me, the highlight of the 4 day event was the evening that the Jesterz Comedy Troupe came to entertain. I had been to their studio before and seen their shows so I knew they were funny. And, on this particular evening they did not dissappoint. One of the comedians who came was a long lost friend of mine from high school. It was good to get reacquanted with him and see the show.

If anybody needs an idea for a good date night, I recommend going to the Jesterz show. It's all improv, all family friendly and all very funny. It's all good.

I'm sure I'm forgetting some things, but this is what I remember doing:

1) Game night with a missionary theme
2) Visit to the Temple/Visitor Center
3) Movie Night
4) Many well done devotionals scattered throughout the entire event
5) Service Project at St Vincent de Paul of Phoenix
6) Kiwanis Wave Pool
7) A very well done Mystery Dinner Theater
8) Jesterz Comedy Entertainment
9) Trip up to Tonto National Park and swim activity
10) Dance combined with another Stake
11) And lots of food

Like I said, I know I missed some stuff. As you can see, the days were jam packed from 7am to 10 or 11pm. Every night I went to bed exhausted.

Here are some pics.

Tonto Bridge Trip

I lead the group on the hike down to through the bridge and up the creek.

Luckily no one got lost, I let everyone spread out.

Then, the group went down to the creek to cool off.

Fun Stuff.
