Youth Confrence 2008-Day 2

Day two of youth confrence was spent at the botanical gardens here in San Juan. We had a breakfast buffet and as soon as our first speaker arrived (President Deusnup, the mission president) we gathered together on the grass and listend to his amazing talk. He, of course spoke about going on a mission and the importance of being a missionary. He handed all the youth a Book of Mormon and challenged them to find a friend to give it to.

Here's the first young women to arrive, from left to right: Rosie, Lorraine, Jessica, Yendri, Lorena, Lynette, Ashley, Tamara, and Coral.







After President Deusnup's talk we split the youth up in 4 groups and had them rotate to various workshops where they had interactive speakers. We then had lunch and went up to the sculture garden to play games.

By the time they were done playing games it was time to go home, change, and go to the Carolina building for a dinner and dance. Everyone was so tired by then and the dance only lasted about two hours.








This girl Ashley is a brand new member. Her testimony grew a lot during youth confrence. The boy on her right is Gabriel, he was going inactive and now he wants to go on a mission. The growth that we see in these youth is miraculous.


Matthew was our DJ for the night

KC and Javier. Javier is a non-member, but he has decided to get baptized!



And that was day two.
