Youth Conference on Temple Square

In her recent Sacrament meeting talk, Ashley Wilkes admitted she thought a youth conference at Temple Square in Salt Lake City was going to be nothing more than just walking around looking at buildings.  However, she - and approximately 20 other young men and young women who traveled to Utah's capital city with ward leaders - called the well-planned annual event "wonderful, memorable, inspiring, spiritual and a lot of fun!"

The Young Women and Young Men of the Bloomington 7th Ward spent July 25-27 together at this very special event.  According to YW President Cheryl Kanenwisher, “Our youth were great examples of the theme, ‘Arise and Shine Forth’ throughout the entire trip. We learned to make ‘Smith’ Chicken in a cooking demo taught by the Executive Chef of the Lion House, we toured the Conference Center, played Family Search Jeopardy, and learned about the printing of the Book of Mormon in the Church History Museum.  We are so blessed to live in this time and in this place where we have the fulness of the gospel, living prophets and the testimonies of our pioneer ancestors.

Bloomington 7th Ward Young Men and Young Women extend thanks to Bishop Goldhardt for making this youth conference possible and to the leaders who sacrificed their time and means to help the youth have this memorable experience.
