YSA Conference
















The Springdale AR, Stake put on a YSA conference. Just like Youth Conference only for YSA's. It was a 3 day event. Friday night the girls got to listen to Sheri Dew. The President of Deseret Book. She is an awesome speaker! I loved listening to her. Then we had a dance that night. Saturday we had a fireside with Sheri Dew again. Again, I just loved it. We had workshops we got to go to. We got to listen to the Mission President and his wife, President and Sister Seal, speak. We had another dance and food. Sunday we all went to a hotel to meet for church. It was a blast. My cousin, Hannah, amd one of my good friends, Malia, got to stay with Mary and I. During free time we went to the mall and hung out. I hope they start doing this every year like they do with youth conference!

Grandma Wheeler's 80th Birthday!
















We had the chance to go to Utah and see the Wheeler family! My Grandma turned 80 this year! She got to have all of her kids there with her and some of her grandchilren and great-grandchildren. We also got the Springville High School band to march down her driveway and play a song for her. She was so surprised. Later she got a Priesthood blessing from her sons. She said it was the best birthday ever!...lol I loved spending time with the family again. We only get to see them every 2 years or so. While we were there we also got to have the chance to spend time with Cami and Seth, Krista and DJ Johnson, and mom's cousins Stephen and Geana. The weather was perfect the whole time! Can't wait to see you all again!!
