Youth Conference for Southgate Stake Youth

The Southgate Stake Youth Conference was held this year on the weekend of April 21-22 at Quail Creek where young men and women, ages 14-18 camped overnight on the big lawn at the Marion D. Hanks Scout Camp.  Friday night was filled with fun, games, dancing and ended with a devotional around the campfire where Br. Steve Gwilliam spoke about "holding to the rod."

Saturday morning was filled with workshops, special speakers and team building experiences.  In the afternoon, there was a hike and an activity where youth were blindfolded and had to "hold to the rod" tightly while listening to a cacophony of voices trying to persuade them to go the wrong way ... but only one was "the right voice."  The experience ended with a meeting with their YM/YW presidents followed by a luau complete with entertainment provided by the youth of the 9th Ward who put on a great show!

It was a fun weekend where lots of good memories were made among friends.  Thanks to the leaders of the Southgate Stake for planning such a wonderful event.
