Especially For Youth 2009

EFY Game Night

Chad and I always try to direct at least one EFY (especially for youth) every summer. We usually opt for one at BYU so we can stay at home. I love EFY and I love BYU. The energy of the two is awesome. The BYU campus is beautiful and I love the mountains that surround it. I love the youth. They are incredible. And I love listening to my husband speak. He is so awesome. (maybe I am biased but seriously he is good) During the week of EFY Chad speaks about 11 times to the youth. My very favorite is Thursday night. Thursday the kids dress up in their church clothes all day. They attend classes (taught by other teachers), then they end the day with a musical program given by them, an awesome fireside (given by Chad) and testimony meetings oh and of course my very favorite part, the EFY medly. This year we had 900 youth in our group.
Seriously it was a blast and such great kids.

Chad was the Session Director of BYU 3B and
Scott Robley was the Director for BYU 3A.
The shirts were not the manliest of colors.
The green was called Algae and the Pink was Hibiscus.

On one of the nights we brought Raegan and Kalli.
They had a blast dancing with the counselors.

My cousin Melanie's daughter Ashley was at our session.

Our good friends the Heslops had their daughter there too.

I am so red faced! It was hot in the ballroom. They combined sessions for the dance so we had over 1600 kids dancing...Talk about stinky, sweaty kids!

Seriously the counselors are so great!

WE LOVE EFY!
