I'm posting a little bit late today, since the last few days have been very hectic! anyway, i wanted to post about my first Youth Committee meeting (held on the 14th). the YC is basically a small group of youth who help the stake leadership plan youth activities and help provide youth leadership in the stake. the YC meetings are usually the 2nd sunday of every month at 430 at the stake center. it was quite a long day at the stake center. me and meredith car pooled (i drove this sunday) and made it 10 min. early to the meeting. the meeting was really cool! as a side note, i got a new cd player so i can finally play cd's in the car! it def. helps being able to listen to music and such in the car, especially if im driving. anyway the meeting was cool and i got "in the know" about all the upcoming stake activities, including church ball, the fall stake dance, and other such stuff. after the meeting was a fireside, which was all about reading the Book of Mormon before Dec. one class was about motivation to read it, another was about helping us understand the sometimes complex language of the Book of Mormon, and the last was about good scripture study. overall it was really cool, but it was nice to get back home as well! i know how mom and dad feel, being at church all day! but ive really enjoyed the experience so far. today was the first day of seminary, however tomorrow is the first day of school! i cant believe its already here! im really kind of dreading it, but i know things will smooth out after a day or two. the only final steps are getting my final schedule changes, packing my book bag, and then waking up bright and early tomorrow! thats about all the news for now! of course stay tuned tomorrow for the big report on how everything goes down! see everyone tomorrow! p.s. cant wait to see u soon kim...lol!

   The youth council should be a good experience for you. You get to really be involved in the planning and leadership roles of stake youth activities. I think Kristen and Ethan both enjoyed being a part of that when they were your age.
