Youth Conference

I can't believe I haven't posted about Youth Conference. We had an amazing weekend with almost 1,000 youth from the Bay Area. I think our service project was one of my favorite parts of it. Each youth was challenged to bring 60 cans of food. It was a "hard" task that was asked of them, but I was touched at how many of the youth followed Nephi's "I will go and do" attitude from the Book of Mormon. This resulted in more than 20,000 pounds of food for those in need! I feel so blessed to be able to serve with the youth of the San Francisco Stake.

During the closing session of our youth conference, we showed the this clip to our youth. Channel 2 News had come in the morning while we were loading the Second Harvest Food truck and did a story. As we watched the video, the youth cheered and the leaders cried. I feel so grateful we were able to help out so much during such a challenging time for so many. Thanks again to all who dropped off food!

I just received this amazing wrap up video from one of the young women leaders in our stake. She did a fantastic job putting it together and I just had to share it. I LOVE IT! (BTW I am at 6:33 next to the astronaut.)
