Urban Camping

The weather wasn't cooperating on Wednesday, so we couldn't go up the canyon to roast hot dogs and marshmallows. So we decided to do it locally. We had a great time. Here are the pics:

Mother's Day

Boys,

Let's take a minute to recognize and remember our mothers. Mother's day is tomorrow, so let's make it a special day for your mom. Make sure that she knows how you feel about her, and show that love to her by doing something nice.

The Book of Mormon

Boys,

The Book of Mormon was written for OUR day. If that is true, then every story in there must have some relevance to our lives, and what we are currently experiencing. I want to challenge each of you to read The Book of Mormon keeping that in mind. In every story, in every verse, try to draw parallels into your life. Search for answers and you will find them. It will not only bring you comfort and happiness, but you will feel God's love for you as if it is coming right off the pages.

I testify to each of you that the Book of Mormon is true, and echo what Brother Joseph testified, when he said that "the Book of Mormon was the most correct of any book on earth, and the keystone of our religion, and a man would get nearer to God by abiding by its precepts, than by any other book."

It's Official - High Adventure Camp Reservations

Ok boys. Based on our discussion on Sunday, I've gone ahead and reserved our campsites for East Canyon Reservoir on July 9th - 11th. Parents please mark your calendars. We have two campsites right across from each other (see expert diagram below). It should be a blast.

We anticipate boating, swimming, fishing, crawdad fishing, water games, waterskiing, tubing, Will Hill comedy, Mike Johnson sarcasm, and an overall great time.

The boys who made a difference.

Boys,

We've told this story in young men's more than once. It is awesome to see a video depiction of it. Again, I want to encourage you to be the boy who would put the money in the shoes. Be that person wherever you go. Rather than bring people down, lift them up. Search for ways to make a difference in people's lives, and you will find them.
