Last Week (May 26th-May31st) I took my member friend to EFY and it was AMAZING! The Whole week was the most spiritual week in my life, there were a lot of miracles.
Starting at the beginning:
On Friday (May23rd) Kylea's Dad Don decided to let Kylea go to EFY with me at BYU. Then on Monday we went to register/check in. When we got there we where told that we needed to show up at 10:00 to get on a list for any cancellations that they would have that day and then we should come back to 12:45 and get registered. Well is didn't quite work that way. When we got to there all the people that were supposed to be there weren't there and they wouldn't be there for a half hour. Grandpa dropped us of and then left so we were alone for a half hour waiting (this was a good thing since Grandpa would of gotten Mad). When it can time to register there wasn't a list to put her name on and they told us that there wasn't any way that she could get in. the lady talked to mom and then finally said that she would try to work it out and to just hang out for a while. by know it is raining, so we hid our stuff under a over hang and then went to the subway that was about 3 blocks away.
We did get in and got to be roommates (a plus) and had a great week. On Tuesday she started asking questions about the church and by Thursday at testimony meeting she shocked me by getting up and saying that she had felt that she was supposed to be here and that she knew that all the classes (I had tried to get her to go to the classes that wouldn't by so overwhelming but she wanted to go to some ones that would go into depth about the church and other things) and such was the truth. Later that night we found out that two of the girls in our group didn't have a Dad that was worthy to hold the Priesthood and one of those girls didn't have a Mom that believed either. Kylea started asking questions about what would happen to her and her parents after they died.
On Sunday after we had gotten home I was reading my Scriptures and was thinking/asking what I could say to Kylea about the church and so forth and I found this Scripture:
Mattew 10:18-20
18 And ye shall be brought before governors and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them and the Gentiles.
19 But when they deliver you up, take no thought how or what ye shall speak: for it shall be given you in that same hour what ye shall speak.
20 For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father which speaketh in you.
And that hit me so hard because I know that it was true.
Later that day I felt impressed to ask her to come to youth conference with my last weekend and she asked while she was still on that phone and said Yes!
At youth conference there was a ward that are her backdoor neighbors that was there and so that made it a little more comfortable and we had a BLAST!!!

Right know I am reading a really good book called "The Marvelous Journey Home" By John M. Simmons but I am almost ready for a new one, Any suggestions?

New Blog Look
Strips from http://matiekay.blogspot.com/2008/05/new-templates.html that has some really cute templates and she tells you how to copy it onto your blog!
I just thought that I should share that.
It has been a while since I have blogged and so I have made it a goal to post and maybe do something to make it cute every day for a month.
In the last 2 weeks I have Gone To SLC Utah twice, Both times helping my grandpa fix a roof at his warehouses that had rotted out and Unfortunately found two more roofs that needs to be redone. I moved into Mia maids and love it even if I have only made it to YWs once since I moved in because last Tuesday I was helping my Grandpa, but it's all good.
Last night we rode our bikes in to Jed's b-ball game, It was pretty cool to see 8 bikes and a trailer all in a line singing while riding down 2nd street. We took the bike path from the high school and in the gap between St. George and Bloomington we watched like 7 birds that we think where Owls playing with each other, diving, gliding, doing loops, it was like watching fireworks and we sang patriotic songs and camp songs the rest of the way home. When we where about a mile away Sara fell asleep, while pedaling and crashed into Brinley going over the handle bars for the 2nd time that night so we put her in the trialor and Chandler had to ride his bike while pushing Sara's bike all the way home.It will be a night that we remember. It was a BLAST.

Wasn't General Conference Great!!!
I also liked Pres. Monsons talks about his heritage and family on both sides and I also liked that we saw more humor in his talks, I heard (Because There is 3 priesthood holders in my family) that during the Priesthood Session that He talked about mimicking others testimony. He used the example of when he was at a Stake Conference that there was a boy sitting on the front row and he was doing everything that Pres. Monson was doing, like folding his arms and crossing his legs and stuff like that now Pres. Monson said that he did a few things to make sure that he had his attention and he was pretty sure that he could do something that he couldn't so when he had his attention he wiggled his ears and my Dad said that he could see his ears moving when he demo. this that he could see them moving clear in the back of the Gym!
I thought that it was fun to her him get humorous some times.
