I love EFY so much! Even though this week was hard, I still wouldn't want to be doing anything else. I love these kids and they make me laugh so hard. They are leaps and bounds ahead of where I was at their age. The future is in good hands, people!

"Our responsibility is to rise from mediocrity to competence, from failure to achievement. Our task is to become our best selves. One of God’s greatest gifts to us is the joy of trying again, for no failure ever need be final." -Thomas S. Monson
EFY week 2 - Independence, MO
This week has THE BEST! I loved my co-counselors, we had great kids, and the only thing to complain about was the humidity. We got to visit the Kansas City temple and do baptisms and I even got to be a temple worker! We walked to Liberty Jail (which I swear was uphill both ways) and that was the first church history site I've visited outside of Utah. We also went to Adam-Ondi-Ahman, Far West, and the Independence temple lot. Since I was 8 and I got my first set of scriptures, I've looked at the pictures in the back and to finally visit some of these places has been so neat. We stayed at William Jewell College and it is seriously the prettiest campus. Good thing I already graduated or else I might be tempted to transfer and I can't afford $40,000 per year.

"I marvel to think that the Son of God would condescend to save us, as imperfect, impure, mistake-prone, and ungrateful as we often are. I have tried to understand the Savior’s Atonement with my finite mind, and the only explanation I can come up with is this: God loves us deeply, perfectly, and everlastingly." -Dieter F. Uchtodorf
Back at it again | EFY week 1 - Provo
Ah I just love EFY so much! I'm so glad to be back and I'm so excited for this summer! This week was hard and crazy and yet absolutely wonderful! I never went to EFY as a participant, but I love going as a counselor! I get so much out of it and come to love this kids so fast. It's hard for me to say goodbye but then I end up loving the next group just as much. I'm supposed to be teaching them, but I'm always the one that ends up getting taught.
Sam Graduation & Eagle Court of Honor
This week has been so crazy. Crazy awesome. But crazy nonetheless. Sam graduated on Owen's 8th birthday, then Owen got baptized, and then Sam got his Eagle Scout Award. I had to leave straight from the church to go to my first session of EFY, but it's been so fun celebrating this week.
