To start things off, I was in Arizona when a member of the stake presidency called Jason to ask us if we would be tribe leaders for the Book of Mormon Youth Conference. We would be gone for 3 days which would require Jason to take time off of work w/out pay and to arrange for someone to watch our 4 kids during that time too. At first I was a little worried about how we would make things work and Jason had to remind me that everything would be okay. We knew we should go, and so we said yes we would do it.
We absolutely loved it!! We were blessed with the best group of kids EVER!! We had 9 kids that we were in charge of so we were like their mom and dad. I was amazed at how strong spirited they all were. We were busy the whole entire time. Activities included many scenes reenacted from the Book of Mormon, the Iron Rod experience, water games, Battle with Nephites & Lamanites, and a service project, and each tribe had to do a skit about a story from the Book of Mormon. We are so, so, so, glad that we were chosen and we know that it was meant to be. The kids touched our hearts and we hope to stay in contact with them. The stake leaders and all that helped were amazing too, and the conference was held with our stake and another stake so there were lots of people. We will never forget this wonderful experience it was a blessing!!!
