stresses. . . . sometimes. . . . . or all the time.

stress:  Stressed out means being anxious, tired and irritable because of too much work or pressure.

The pressure came from Youth Conference.  

All the stress paid off and it was a success.  Generally.  


The theme was Come Unto Me.  The youth in the ward (and leaders) had been challenged to memorize The Living Christ and to read specific stories from the New Testament.  


The preparation for youth conference was a a great experience for me, and hopefully the youth as well.  


The good food kept all the young men happy.  


The messages shared kept all the rest of us happy.  


Truly though, the day went well.  I think all of us, leaders and youth alike learned a lit bit more about our relationship with our Heavenly Father and his son Jesus Christ through our study of the New Testament stories. 


Sharing my testimony with the youth is one of the greatest blessings that I have been given as part of the opportunity I have to serve.  




The stress was worth it.  


It would have been worth it if I was the only one who walked away edified.

We don't have youth conference this year which means we have to plan a ward super activity. I'm already stressing about it. Mucho pressure to plan something meaningful.
