Youth Conference


This is the youth conference motto. This youth conference's base was family history. 
All the Abu Dhabi first ward youth. There were other wards. It wasn't just us seven.
Airport boredom
Manilla airport. We went to pizza hut.
Waiting for our bags to come around
We finally reached our destination in Cebu, Philippines. 
Here we were stained our angel moroni statues


Anastasia and Kaza are talking to some Philippino girls at the service project 




 We brought hygiene and food kits for a village after it burnt down. There houses were mostly made of tin and wood but consisted of anything they could find.

Getting to know the philipinos 

 This is the walk from the temple grounds to the service project site
 This is a good picture of some of the houses in the little village.



 above the village you can see our youth walking around and meeting these people. They were very kind and happy, even in their current situation.
 You can see the point of the temple from this point on the road but, mostly, you can't see the temple until it right there in front of you.


This is a river entering into the ocean on the Cebu island.

 The airplane we flew on, from Manilla Philippines, to Cebu, Philippines. 


 Pictures in front of the temple


 This temple has become one of my favorite temples. It is truly beautiful and the temple grounds are amazing. 


 Our entire stake youth gathered in front of the temple.

 Our dad was able to come chaperone the youth on our trip 
 Some say you shouldn't take pictures when someone isn't ready but be assured. She was definitely ready.
 All the girls from our ward
 All the boys(plus 1)

 Hanging out in by the temple.


 This was part of our testimony meeting outside the temple.
 This was beginning of the dance. The wards there in Cebu visited us and partied hard.
 My dad trying to be cool. Somehow it worked. 
Slow dancing

More service project. In the bottom right you can see the care packages we made for them.
The travel bear with his passport and everything. This bear has been to more countries than I have. 
Sitting in the airport before our 9 hour flight before going home. As fun as it was it was quite a long weekend and we were definitely ready to go.
