Especially For Youth!!

Larisa had an amazing opportunity to go to EFY with year!!! We were able to go Ogden and stay at my sister's house and she went to the stay at home EFY with her cousins! They had such a great time!!! She misses her cousins and they had a blast together. Yep, she was the only girl, but that worked out fine, especially because a lot of the girls in her group had group had crushes on her cousins. The theme for the year was - "Courage to Stand Strong". What a great theme to help armor Larisa before she heads off to High School!! It was so fun to go and pick them up and hear them all talk at once about their adventures!! They felt the spirit so strong!! They had a lot of funny stories to tell and loved the things that they learned!! I loved that she was able to be around those with the same beliefs and that she was able to grow closer with her cousins!! We are already planning next year - our goal - EFY Nauvoo!!! I sure hope we can pull it off!!!
