This last week was absolutely amazing! I had the experience of a lifetime! I felt the spirit everyday from the tip of my head to the bottom of my toes... Our theme was Joshua 1:9 "Have I not commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage, be not afraid neither be thou dismayed for the Lord they God is with thee, wither soever thou goest." I met so many new people, gained such a stronger testimony and I learned so much about things I didn't know. My favorite thing that I learned was from Brother Boyle's class when he talked about the letter of the law and the spirit of the law. I like to compare that to things like Adam and Eve, how Eve had to choose the spirt of the law over the letter of the law, or the actual law, that was given to her by God. The food was ok but the games night and dances were awesome! The First day we met with our companies and got to know our counselors! I had some of the best counselors! Elle, Stacie and Austin. They told me their own testimonies which in turn strengthened my own. I also had the most amazing BCs ever! (BCs are the counselors to the counselors) I got really close with Kristina, Nick Ricky and Richard. Nick took our group the first day when my counselor couldn't be there on time and he has awesome glasses just like my fake ones! Kristina took our group after him when my counselor had another issue she had to deal with and I just love her to death! Kristina always encouraged us to show our talents in the music program but when I went to the first practice I couldn't get through one song without crying so we didn't end up doing it. Then we (Amy Rachel and I) met Richard when we heard that there was no nerd day this year and were told to bring it up with Richard! Richard said we would be making fun of nerds if we dressed up like nerds, we dressed up like them anyways, Richard didn't get mad surprisingly haha. Then we met Ricky who has this awesome dance move called the T-Rex! It's so awesome! Then one very awesome lunch time we met Tommy! He is the funniest person I have ever met and he has amazing stories about Rubi-Ribbet-Salamanders?? But all in all the people in my company were so bright, fun and full of the light of Christ! On the last day the boys gave each of the girls a note telling us how special we were as daughters of God and they all signed each one (Granted there were 35 girls!) We also caught up with some old friends from EFY last year! They have changed and matured So much! There was amazing classes with Brother Beecher, Brother Boyle and Brother Slaughter. There was also a fun games night where my company (Anxiously Engaged) got first in the cheer off (our cheer was "Anxiously Engaged even though we're under age) and second in the banner category. There was also 2 dances, a very spiritual musical program and a variety show (One guy played the drums and guitar at the same time! And another guy ripped phone books in half!) Our session directors, Brother and Sister Robb were amazing, Fun and so knowledgeable in the gospel which in turn rubbed off on every person there! I had an amazing experience and I so hope I keep in touch with these amazing people and that I will never forget the spirit I felt there!
Spirit. Testimony. Friends. Counselors. EFY.
