so the YSA conference was awesome. Loved it. It felt like BYU Freshman Academy NSO all over again. So many singles, so much food, so many cute girls. haha.
From the speed dating portion of it I realized my conversation skills are still very lacking. I danced with the one girl I was slightly interested in and totally blew it because I was nervous and went blank...then started asking the lamest questions...haha. oh well. That's ok. I'll probably never see her again. My breakdancing also needs extreme work....
Met a lot of new friends and strengthened some current ones. Saw Kris Admundsen (from Deseret Towers, R3), Ana Morales (from the mission), Amy (from Provo, a ward missionary when I was a missionary), and Lara (from when I worked at the cougar express). The randomest coincidences huh? haha. Nearly all the people I met go to BYU, either Idaho, or Provo. Paige, Whitney (actually, she already graduated), Carly, Melissa, Ashley, and the list goes on and on. Carazy! I mean, if school was in session half the people wouldn't even be there!
Of course, the best BEST aspect were the talks, workshops, and testimonies. I was able to receive inspiration and revelation as well as remembering a lot of things. One of the best talks was by a stake president that talked about how we acted towards girls, and the second portion of the talk focused on not delaying marriage or dating. He was forceful and serious. hahaha. interesante. The talks by Elder Clayton and Elder Perry were good too.
I never really felt that unity with the other California singles until after the conference...now. but now that its over, now that the leaders have accomplished this amazing feat, now that we've actually done it and it succeeded, I feel unified by this sense of spirituaity and success.
We exceeded ALL goals. We wanted 10,o00 singles registered, we got 11,000+. We aimed for 10,000 temple ordinances in three months. We surpassed it, and beat their new goal of 30,000 before they even announced it. Then they challenged us to go for 50,000. As of Saturday morning, the total was 69,000+. Nice.
It was so good. I love all the singles and leaders. haha
