Youth Conference at Salmon

Like I said before, I went to youth conference up in Salmon, Idaho. It was a blast! We had two cabins (one for boys, one for girls) that were RIGHT on the lake. They both had their own private docks that we could boat from and hang out on. It was so beautiful there. It was this small area of water surrounded almost entirely by mountainside with cabins around the whole lake. It was real intimate and felt like a small piece of heaven out there.
We didn't get to do much boating because the boat was on the fritz, but we did go on an all day rafting and kayaking trip down the river. I must say, I was lovin' the kayaks. We also stopped at this rock partway down the river to rock-jump which was so much fun!!! We have a talented group of people in our ward and we were flipping and diving and doing fun tricks off the raft and rock. My buddy Danika (who is also the YW Pres.) was the craziest one of all. You should have seen the stuff she was pulling! But if you know her you wouldn't expect less. She is the best at everything on the planet!!!
The Bishop was our river guide. He was the best! He made the whole trip what it was. Without Bishop and good 'ole Brother Woodhouse, we wouldn't have eaten. They did all the cooking for us! We felt like we should have done more (as the women), but they kindof had it all under control. Guilt.
We also had a Bishops night which is kindof a devotional, but this time Bishop Burger brought up a topic and then opened it up for question and answer session. I thought it was great! It was a good learning experience and we got questions answered that we never knew we had. I think we should have that opportunity more often, really. It was one of a kind!
I am grateful for the Gospel and for the opportunity to be involved in Young Womens and with the youth. I love my Heavenly Father and all the blessings he has provided for me. He truly knows what is best for us and supplies the things we are in need of if we are doing our best. I know this. I have seen it so many times in my life. How exciting to know the truth and have a divine plan for our lives with personal help as a bonus!
Anyway, I hope you enjoy the pictures. I didn't take many. I'll post more soon.....
