YSA Conference

YSA Conference couldn't have been in a better setting; mountains, trees, a small lake with croaking frogs, and wonderful people to work with. We had Elder and Sister Senkans, our Area Authority Seventy and friends from Latvia, come to speak to us. Our Supervisor, Igor Poddubny, from the Ukraine, also came and gave a wonderful presentation. President Bennett gave a scintillating talk on how Joseph Smith received the plates. With dancing in the evenings, and great workshops, the young adults had a marvelous time. John put on his bridge-building activity and everyone, adults included, were seen frantically working together to create a bridge out of newspapers strong enough to hold a 35 pound box for 10 seconds, and big enough for the box to pass under. Exhilarated and exhausted, we are now home and basking in the pleasant memories and preparing to do it all over again for the youth of our mission this weekend.
