I just got back from our Stake's Youth Conference. We had a wonderful time. We had the opportunity to paint murals, plant gardens, and clean a city elementary school in downtown DC. This kind of a thing should be done more often. We also got a chance to do a little rock climbing, dance to some hip beats, and enjoy friendly conversation. Heck, I felt like a youth participant, not a youth leader; except for the fact that I got a full itinerary at the beginning of the conference including all stake youth leader cell phone numbers.
Jess had a good time too. The man didn't sleep one wink from the Friday night we arrived to the Saturday evening we came home. He stayed awake all night in a barn (the designated location for slumber), surrounded by 50+ sleeping individuals, typing away on his laptop in preparation for a final on Tuesday. Good for the health? no. Great for the final? yes. And thus we see how extreme testing schedules in concurrence with leadership duties can affect your actions.
ha ha ha... crazy jess.
ReplyDeletei can't believe you're a youth leader. it seems like just the other day we were dancing to groovy beats at the A*R*M*Y youth conference in 1999, though they insisted on putting Y2K on the shirts. i'll never understand it.
Wow! That is some tough schedule. I hope his finals went well. We moved on Saturday, so Jeff has been studying hard this week to make up for it. I hope all is going well with you!
ReplyDeleteGood for Jess for making it all work, but that stinks. I hope he aces his final as a reward!
