Robert and Marissa got to Youth Conference

Thursday at 3:00 - Robert and Marissa drive over to the Crestwood stake center to participate in their Youth Conference.  Last year they got to do the Pioneer Trek, which is a huge thing, so this year the youth stayed "local."

The first day they are assigned into a group and do various activities.  They had pizza for dinner and then everyone at Youth Conference got to go see a play at the Oldham County Arts Center. 

That night, Marissa and Meg were off to Meg's house to sleep with 2 other girls, and Robert and Ben along with 2 other boys were off to the Moore's house to sleep.

The next day both Meg and Ben got sick so they went home.  That left Robert without a partner, and Marissa without a partner and it left Marissa without a place to stay.

Friday was a day of workshops and exciting activities ending with the Stake Dance.  Betsy's boss was the DJ for the dance.  When the evening was over - they called Betsy to see if we could house the girls (since Meg got sick), but I was driving to Toledo so Mark was home alone... no can do.

Marissa and the other girls in her group ended up at my boss's house - how crazy is that.  They got drinks at Sonic on the way home - they had lots of room - She loved it - they had egg and sausage casserole for breakfast - she loved it!!!  hummm.   

The next morning they dressed in service clothes and did service at Crestwood Elementary School for 3 hours.  They painted and weeded and cleaned up the play ground. 

Mark picked up the kids around 2:30 on Saturday.  We sure hope they had a good time.  They were both very tired when they got home.
