alright,alright,alright alright alright, HEY!

throw in a few claps....


E F Y!!!

I had been waiting to go for a year and now I'm already back home!

It's insane of fast the time flies there.

EFY is not just some other youth camp.

Believe me I've been to plenty of them.

EFY is a place that you're placed with a whole group of strangers and grow to love them as if you've known them for most of your life. It's incredible.

I really wish I could share all of the amazing and spiritual experiences that I had with all of you but doing so over blog is hard. So let me just tell you some highlights:

The Friends:

Having a group of teenagers all sharing the same standards in a group can make them bond so fast. 

With everyone's testimonies and examples in my company, I grew so much.

The Leaders:

I had two wonderful counselors this year

Lauren and Erik.

I love them so much and everything they did for me.

                                         

The Spirit:

I don't believe I have ever felt the Spirit as much as I have this week. I have been overly blessed this past week with insights and comfort that I needed so much in my life.

We even got to record how we want to "Arise and Shine"

yeah we're pretty cute.

I have grown to love the gospel and my Savior even more this week.

I loved every bit of EFY and I hope I get to go again soon(:

Quotes for this week:

"God could have said magic words to make the nails fall off the cross, but He didn't. That's love." - 5 year old boy

"It's our light not our darkness that scares us."

"Any two people can do anything as long as one of them is God."

(thanks Lauren for sharing)

"Never underestimate the power of your righteous influence"

-Sister Dalton

"There's so many of them what difference does it make?" It made a difference to this one"

"We need to try to be worthy of our Eternal Companion"

"Christ didn't just die for us.

He's alive for us."

-Erik Lovell

Don't walk on me I'm trying hard to grow spiritually.

I know it sounds a bit selfish...

okay really selfish, and I try not to be...

sometimes you just want things to go your way, right?

As for me I want lots of things to happen.

I want:

(EFY 2 years ago)

I miss it and seeing everyone's pictures of it makes me want to go even more.

(only have to wait another week!)

I want:

Camp Williams to email me back so I don't have to stress anymore about  the A Capella retreat

and so Wilcock won't kill me.

I want:

My sister to wake up so I can have something to do for the next few hours...

To be in some sort of Disney area...

I'm in need of some magic in my life(:

I want:

I want to teach everyone in Utah to drive because I feel that whenever the weather gets warmer Utah drivers seem to be more stupid and they need to be taught how to drive again.

(yeah this is how driving has been for me the past week or so)
