A Brand New Year

For the youth of the church, there was a celebration called "A Brand New Year" that was boradcast from the Conference Center. Our stake held a celebration last Saturday from 6:00-10:00 at night, ans we sure had a lot of fun! A lot of the youth from the stake went. We did a service project, played games, ate pizza, had ice cream... I'm not sure how you could have much more fun that we did! The program was put on by youth for youth- and can be seen at abrandnewyear.lds.org for anyone interested in seeing it, or hearing the music from it. I was very touched.

My beautiful young women!

One things that was a little side note, and a little funny... is as we were watching the DVD, up popped Parker and Summer from my (English) ward. I said to my girls "that's my Parker and Summer!" I think they thought I strange. A little later, one of the young women from another ward yelled out "It's Parker! Look guys, it's Parker!" She must go to school with him... I just thought it was cute. They both did an AWESOME job. I even saw Alina from the Cottonwood 10th ward on the DVD also. I would love to find her again! She is adorable!

We even made a can can line - to show the prophet we "can can" follow his teachings. I have to say, we had a really good time. This was absolutely hilarious!

It is always good to have good, clean fun. I am so grateful to the people who organized this activity. They really put a lot of work in to it, and I know it will make a difference in the lives of the youth that were there!
