Youth Conference 2010
This year the Youth Conference took place in College Station, with the majority of the activities taking place at the LDS Institute building. Philip, Sarah, KC, Victor, and Chris attended. I have to say it was a huge success. It began Friday (4-16-10) at the Institute with playing pool and foosball and visiting. After supper we listened to Brother Randal Wright, LSD Institute Director in Austin. Bowling followed his devotional and ended at 11. I must apologize that I do not have any pics of Friday. Forgot my camera.
The youth stayed at the homes of Brother Kutler and Pres. McNeely.
Saturday began at 9 with cereal at the Stake Center. By ten we were at our service project and had been paired with four youth from the Spanish Branch. We went to the home of a local family that we helped with yard work. Great little family, and the youth worked hard.
By 12 we were back at the Stake Center for clean up and lunch, 70 pizzas. Plenty of food. We then returned to the Institute for workshops and seminars. We ate supper about 5:30 which was followed by the testimony meeting. We all felt the Spirit and were uplifted.
The culminating event was the dance which, I must say, was the best I have been to in quite some time. President Prior concluded the conference with a few remarks and we left for our homes about 10:15.
The following are some of the pictures I took, and a video or two.
