I'm a missionary! HOORAYYY!!!!! Hard to believe it's for real.
Being an EFY counselor summers 2008 and 2009 helped me prepare for and want to serve a mission even more. I had the opportunity to be an example for the youth, and to teach them from my own life lessons, and from lessons in the scriptures. That's where I learned to teach by the Spirit. That's where I learned to teach, period. That's where I gained my desire to teach people and bring the Spirit and gospel into their lives. That's where I first saw lives change in a short amount of time because of the Spirit. What an amazing experience both summers, and such good mission preparation.
Back tomorrow, for the last time!! Then I fly out to Utah, and I'll have my mom update my blog once in a while!

You will find that being an EFY counselor helps more than just a little on your mission. Oh, and don't be surprised if there are elders in the MTC with you that were participants the same year you were a counselor. Okay, one last tip that I forgot...put dates on your Dear Elder letters...I forgot to, and trying to put them in order was a bear. Then you know what days you got them. Thanks for your comment on my blog, you too will be an AMAZING missionary. Just remember..be VERY careful on the volleyball court.
