Youth Conference

This year for youth conference we did service projects around town! It was a lot of fun! At first I thought it was gonna be boring, but it actually turned out to be a lot of fun! My group was called "Alma the Roofer"! From the name you can probably guess what we had to do, ROOFING!! It was fun! I couldn't go on the roof at first cause all the boys were up there and they didn't want too many people on the roof, so all the girls had to wait forever. But to take up the time we cut down this huge tree that was hanging over her house! It was fun, me and Julie are PRO'S when it comes to hand saws!! (not really we were pretty sad)! But anyways when we finally got to go on the roof, we had people ripping holes in their pants! It was hilarious! Some people had huge holes! I didn't rip mine though, so that's why it is so funny! We also experienced little baby birds dying! It was sad. And Julie and I started a CHERRY fight! :) good times, good times!!! Well, It wasn't just service, we also got to do some fun activities! Like make geo caches and water activities! The first night we did a slip n' slide, that was fun, but we had a lot of people get hurt! I had bruises all over my body, and Aubrey sprained her wrist! The second day we went to Payson City Pool! It was great! Then the last day we went to this barn up Spanish Fork canyon and played games all day! We wrestled pigs in the mud and I caught one!!! :) We also played tug a war, human battle ship, and water games! Well I had so much fun and it was AWESOME seeing the people's faces, we were helping, when we got done! And I am glad I got to feel the feeling of helping people!!!!!!! :) I also made a lot of new friends!

Glad you had a fun time serving! Was it scary being all the way up there? I would have freaked out! Slip n slide looks way fun too! Was it as Peteetneet?
