We have had
a great adventure this past week. The England Bristol Stake YSA sponsored their
annual National YSA Convention! Wow! The planning for this event has been in
process since we have arrived. I could not quite get my head around what it was
all going to look like and even the magnitude of the event. Under the direction
of the very capable Adrian Evans who is the High council member over the Young
Single Adult program he and his wife Brenda being the YSA advisers, the Stake
YSA Presidency and committee worked long hours and presented a fantastic event.
Because this experience has been all consuming for this past week it is my blog!
There was hilarity,
dancing, eating, playing, painting, praying, learning, feasting on the spirit,
confusion, monitoring and adjusting when needed and lots a lots of hard work.
The end result was many things to many people most of which will be a part of
lasting memories and increased desires to recommit lives to the building of the
Kingdom of God on earth.

This was the winning performance, 'Robbie-D' came out as a rappstar and then burst into this beautiful song by Puccini!
I am
thankful for this mission that allowed me such an opportunity. I am thankful
for these young LDS members in Britain that are even now leading this work
forward. In the Sunday night Fireside, Elder Boone (YSA senior missionary here
in London South Mission) quoted Boyd K Packer: Seldom is there a reaching down
without first a reaching up…” Grateful for the inspiration this event has
provided for many to do just that!
