Week two of EFY was amazing once again! My group just clicked and I had kids, I mean participants, who were just so strong! The testimony meeting was something I will never forget. The spirit was so strong! There were more tears than I have ever seen in my life! I felt like a proud parent watching each of these youth I've been with all week bare testimony of the truthfulness of the gospel. Their words were so powerful and I could just tell that they were saying what they knew and believed. My co-counselors were absolutely amazing! We got along so well and just had so much fun! They were also so spiritual and really had an effect on these kids.
Some of the highlights of the week were...some of our boys participated in the variety show and musical program, we won the cheer off for the 14-15 year old group!!! We were so stoked!!! We ate lunch together, played games, the testimony meeting was awesome, we bonded, cheered, danced, and two of the boys wrote a song to say good-bye to the girls. They were adorable! Our group just bonded and no one wanted to leave. I loved every minute of it! We didn't really have any problems and we just had a really outgoing and fun group of kids. We had some boys who didn't want to be there and by the end of the week they were baring their testimonies and planning to go on missions and telling each other they loved one another. I could not believe what had happened that week! I hope and pray that they will remember what they felt last week and be able to get through the next couple of years in high school. If they have faith and trust in the Lord, they will continue to be the strong children of God that they are.
