Well, I thought I would do a little blog update for each session I do of EFY. Last week was the first session of the summer for me and boy was it crazy! I had 14-15 year olds and they were a blast. Luckily I taught that age group for student teaching so I had a little more experience with them. There were two sessions going on in Provo and ours had about 1,300 participants. The other session had over 700 and we got to combine for the dances. It was pure madness! I've never seen so many kids in one place. The other crazy part of last week is that everyone got sick! About 1/3 of all the counselors were sick and a whole bunch of participants were sick. My co counselor Adam got very sick and was out for a couple of days so it was pretty nuts taking care of all our kids with my other co counselor Andrea. Our group was amazing and we had a lot of fun. There were some crazy adventures but all it all it was amazing! I loved my girls, Andreas girls and all of our boys. They were all so strong in the gospel and grew even more. This week should be interesting. We have a smaller session with only 1,000 participants (ha ha) and it's supposed to rain all week so we'll see how it goes!
This was about 2/3 of the participants at the dance. Like I said, it was crazy!!!!
Me and my co counselors! So fun!

NO HARM! Here was week two of EFY. Our company name was No Harm and it sure was an interesting week. It was for sure different than week two. First off EFY started some new rules and the week was dubbed "No Touch Week". Because of everyone getting so sick last week this week we couldn't hug, high five, escort, or shake hands. Pretty much we just couldn't touch each other at all. They almost got rid of slow dancing but brought it back because that was just a bit too drastic. Other than that it was a good week :) I had the 14-15 year olds again and we had fun. My co counselor Manda was AMAZING! I had so many little tender mercies this week. My cousin brought me soda a couple times, Brianne came and saw me. Chad brought me soda and cookies, Brett had lunch with me twice. Alaina, Nadya and Ashley were in town and came to see and me and Manda bought me Jamba juice when I missed breakfast. It was a great week!
At Tuesday night dance! The sweatband is a must!
So Friday night after the dance there was a huge thunder and lightning storm! We got soaked on our way back to the dorms! We were all so wet but it was exciting
