Especially for Youth 2007

Angelia went to Especially for Youth last week. It is a WONDERFUL church camp held for various weeks in various parts of the country. She went to the one held at Southern Virginia University in Buena Vista, Virginia. If there is any ONE thing I think every parent should do it's to send their kids to EFY every summer!! For the first few days Angelia didn't like it very much. There was a whole lot of scripture study & a lot of classes. At the time she could have cared less about that, unfortunately. But by the end of the week she had committed to reading her scriptures daily with Brent & his sister, Julie. She came home with a whole new perspective on the church & a whole new love for the gospel. Thank you Heavenly Father. I prayed so hard every day she would feel the Spirit & would be touched by it. The Lord definitely heard my prayers. She said, "Mom, as soon as Josh turns 14 you have to send him to camp. He should go every year!" Leah absolutely loved it! The Spirit was so strong there & had such an impact on the youth. She loved being with so many kids from her own faith. I am so happy she went, so happy for the experience, & so happy for the friendships she made.
