Gotta say, I've never been around so many Mormons. It was awesome. Everybody I talked to and formed friendships with shared my. same. standards. People came to Rexburg Idaho from all over the country searching for the same. truth. It was like an army of awesome.
It was like spiritual boot camp. One week of training to prepare us for the rest of eternity. Every class left me wanting to go out and show the world who I am. A daughter of God. I feel like I could go pick up a mountain and throw it into the ocean or something.
I want to keep this peace and clarity for the rest of my life.
Our session director's wife, Sister Young, said this:
"We're like little lights going out into the darkness after we go home. And as we teach, we will light more lights."
And our session director Brother Young, said this:
I'm going to take what I've learned, and put. it. to. work.
Otherwise efy was nothing more than a fun week.
Listening to it is awesome, but there is something about standing up and singing it with 600 other teenagers that makes it the most powerful song I've ever sung in my life. There is something about being in a room with an army of youth all singing the same committement and declaring the same amazing message. It. is. incredible.
I found a new favorite scripture while I was there:

A guy in our company tried to prank call one of my roommate's grandma, and it didn't really work out.
