As many of you know, last week was my first week of being an EFY counselor. And for those of you who didn't know, SURPRISE! 

Well, I cannot say anything but that amazing things happened last week. We were witnesses to true miracles. It all started with my amazing co-counselors, Landon and Jenny. 

These two people helped me so much! It was incredible how great we got along and how easy it was to split up all the duties and things we had to do. 

My girls were incredible as well; I learned so much from each and every one of them. I was humbled by their spirit and how much they truly love and live the gospel. I was able to have the spirit 24/7 with them; they knew exactly when to be outgoing and fun, and they knew when to calm down and let the Spirit whisper those promptings that they needed in their lives. Kaelan, Aubry, Rachel, Erin, Christie, Becky, Madison, Lizzie, Kim, and Hannah, if you ever read this, know that your testimonies truly strengthened mine. 

As for the rest of our company. I just have a couple words. FINNA AWESOME! I will never forget Paul's sick cat. Or Matt's surprising us all when he broke out into dropping it low at the dance. Or Brandon's epic I Will Go the Distance. And every other awesome moment, especially dancing with Kara and Jake, and talking and hugging everyone after testimony meeting. 

I love you all so much!!! And I meant what I said about having a reunion in the Millenium. I hope that I make it there, and I hope that I will see everyone there. 

So here are some pictures of our epic awesomeness...

I am now starting my second week of EFY at UofU in Salt Lake. I know that EFY is an amazing program that not only helps the youth to recommit themselves to stand Firm in the Faith, but it also has helped me to come closer to Christ as I strive to live the principles of the Gospel. With that knowledge, I know that this week will be amazing as well!
