Twice a year the youth (ages 14-18) from church get to go to a “Youth Conference” where they have fun (dances are involved), get a spiritual boost and also perform service for people in the community. In November we had a 2 day event at our Stake Center. The service projects included raking leaves/doing yardwork and visiting elderly people at a care facility.
It was a great experience for Liz and Megan, who got to go, but also for me, as a leader attending. I got to go to the nursing home and watch the girls sing to the elderly and infirm there. The spirit was very strong. Other kids played games with the patients and also gave them manicures. They were all so appreciative and it made all of us feel good as well.
This is the T-shirt that they all got (that's Megan).
Megan decided to rake leaves for the service project instead of going to the nursing home with Liz and me. That's her, 4th from the Left.
This is a bunch of the kids watching a Karaoke/Dance competition they had between the wards.
That's Liz, on the Left, competing in the Karaoke competition.
