Stake Temple Trip
Join the entire group of stake youth for a special temple trip on October 21st & 22nd!
6:30pm the session begins! Please arrive early. The spots will be first come, first serve so please sign up early by letting the stake leaders know how many will be attending.
We challenge you to take the next few weeks to prepare and bring one family file name each. It will be a special experience and what a great learning opportunity for the YW to spend time doing genealogy and then be able to perform the temple work for these family members.

Saturday
started early with a foggy sunrise personal study time in the sacred grove. breakfast, service project and then freetime. the youth played sports, watched the joseph smith movie or finished their t-shirts. after pizza for lunch we packed up and headed to the church for our fabulous keynote speakers; the pinegars. they gave great talks about being united and taking upon us the name of Christ. which was a great connection to our theme! they were powerful talks that encouraged us to stay close to our loving Heavenly Father.
we enjoyed workshops on family history, sharing the gospel with our friends and joseph smith. then patriarch morrey took us on a rainy temple walk! it was gorgeous. we finished the afternoon with a great testimony meeting from many wonderful youth! after dinner we danced the night away to the music and games by brother sykes.
