FSY

 Kade came home from FSY today! Luke gave him the biggest bear hug and didn’t want to ever let go. He really missed him. We all did. But he had such a good time. It was fun to listen to his stories about all the cool people he met, the amazing counselors, the good devotionals, the girls, the cheer he helped create for his group; “Listen to me in every thought. Doubt not! Fear not!” And of course the crazy storm! FSY is such an amazing opportunity for the youth. It builds their testimony and strengthens friendships with good people. He told us of a few examples where he felt his testimony strengthening. One when his friend encouraged him to read Alma 32 about faith. Another when there was a devotional about the way to be a good missionary is to be a missionary now! And he also said the most spiritual day was the day after the storm when the university lost all power and everyone’s phone died. He said they were all more focused on each other and on feeling the spirit. He loved it. I loved hearing all these stories. I’m so glad he was able to go with such a great friend. I’m so grateful for all the people who work hard to make FSY happen and especially to the sweet members in Missoula who offered generators so they could continue the week after the storm took out the power. What an amazing week!

After Kade got home we headed to the lake and it was the perfect way to get some family time in after weeks of not all being together. The lake is my happy place.
