But first, the youth conference.This is a picture of their arrival. They were transported by buses, which stopped down the road a couple of blocks, leaving the kids to walk into the camp itself. After the mornings' instruction (see previous post), they arrived here at about noon or there abouts.
Again, there was about 400 of them or a few more. And they were very well organized, orderly and well behaved.
After getting settled in and particpating in a talent show that evening, it came time for lights out. These kids really know how to have a camp. There was no need for adults to remain on alert through the night trying to be certain the young men and women stayed where they belonged. They simply did what they should and all had a restful nights sleep.The next morning, they were all up early (on their own), studying the scriptures wherever they could find a spot.
We hear they stayed up a bit late this night. They all knew that it all was drawing to an end and they did not want to waste a minute of it!
And remember, some of them then had to climb on buses and spend as long as three more days on bumpy, rough dirt roads, getting home!
We hope they will remember this experience as long and as fondly as we will!

That picture of them arriving was so impressive. I also loved the quilts. The song, "oh youth of the noble birthright, carry on, carry on, carry on" came into my mind.
They said you are too old? That's not nice. : )
That is a LOT of youth to have together at one time, and to have all of them doing what they are suppose to do without being told, IMPRESSIVE.
What a great experience!
