After a get to know you game with the 5th ward we headed up to the Draper temple for some Baptisms. Now that was the best part out of the whole conference. It was also my first time doing baptisms in a temple other than the provo.
We went up the alpine loop and stayed at a small camp ground. the leaders took us to a field and blindfolded us, that's when everyone started talking, I could hear my leader saying something then finally figured out she was saying "if you listen to me, I'll show you where to go." That's when I stepped forward and followed her voice, she then took my arm and led me to a rope where she said "remember to choose the right". I followed the rope for a while and then it split in two, I followed the rope that felt the same. Then came upon Chandler and Blaze, we started to help each other the rest of the way but it was more like they were helping me by moving branches and saying where the trees where, which I still ran into each one. We got to the end and a guy whispered "congradulations you made it, you can take off yoru blindfold" Turns out we three were the first ones there, and everyone got journals. It was a very NEat experience to have us helping each other along the way, it's just like life and how things should be.
that night we played a few card games. Some leaders came up to me and said that I should tell everyone it was time for bed, I asked why me, they said because they listen to you. So I stood up and was liek okay guys lets go to bed and surprisingly they all emideatly responded to that and went to bed. Audry, Annie, (Tara)Sis Smith and I shared a tent, but Annie ,Tara, and I shared two air mattresses together, now that was interesting. we were squishing each other, Also Annie and Audry got us all into a big huge Giggle fits.
The following day we all hiked up to Stewart Falls. Right before we left I stood under the water fall, it felt so good, but walking all soaked is not so fun. On our return we got in the cars and drove up to Timp caves. Kelly B. Walked up with me the whole time and helped me out the whole time. I was really appreciative of him helping me, such a gentlemen. The caves were so much fun. The two cars we took decided to get some ice cream before we left and good thing too cause one of the cars left without their group by accident so we didnt get back for another hour.
That night was testimony night and sister Gren gave a great talk. Kelly's Testimony had me crying. Around the camp fire I started to sing some camp songs and the guys seemed to like "How do you move a mountain" the most. Sister Zamora was ready for bed so Once again I was like okay everyone lets go to bed and they obeyed haha. where as they wouldn't listen to anyone else.
In the morning our tent was the first one emptied and ready to be packed, when we went to breakfast the guys were like, you finally woke up, we responded with yeah we're already packed and everything haha. it was funny cause we beat them at packing.
Youth conference was awesome. but not as awesome as the time we stayed at Bishop Porter's parents house.
