The Person I Want to Be

This summer I got the opportunity to be an EFY (Especially For Youth) counselor for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. This literally has been the best experience I have ever had in my entire life. I have grown so much and love the person that I have become.
When I was a youth I went to EFY and it was the best week of every year I went. It changed my life as a youth and showed me what was really important. Back then was when I said I wanted to be an EFY counselor when I grew up...
Provo 1B and Gainesville GA 01
First day on the job! (Provo 1B) All the counselors from Georgia on the right!

I'm not grown up just yet, but I sure got to fulfill and check off what I think is one of the best and most important thing on my bucket list. I still can't believe that I got that opportunity and everyday I was at EFY I thanked the lord for that amazing blessing. I caught myself looking around and saying to myself, "I'm really an EFY counselor...how did this happen!?" and probably way too many times!

These kids have taught me so much and they have each individually blessed my life more than they will ever know. I wish I could go back and be with those amazing kids and around that spirit all the time. This summer has been amazing and has truly strengthened my testimony.
I know that my Savior loves me and knows me. I am so blessed that I had this opportunity.
I will never forget the feelings that I felt and the miracles that I saw.

Provo 9A. Never laughed so hard in my entire life this week!!

Such an amazing speaker Brad Wilcox! This picture is hanging up
in one of the main buildings at BYU. Just sporting EFY!
Too bad I go to USU! 

I will NEVER forget what EFY has taught me.
