Last Friday was a truly memorable experience for our youth.
We began the day at the temple, where many of them participated in proxy baptisms for the very first time. It was inspiring to see the joy, peace, and reverence they felt as they entered the House of the Lord and took part in sacred ordinances. Their smiles and testimonies reflected the promise that the temple is a place where heaven feels closer.
Afterward, we traveled to our campsite and spent the night together. Through spiritual activities, cooking challenges, life-skills training, and meaningful fellowship, our youth learned, grew, and strengthened friendships. The evening concluded with a wonderful bonfire, where they shared their talents, laughter, and testimonies under the stars. It was a night filled with faith, unity, and unforgettable memories.
President Russell M. Nelson taught:
"Nothing will strengthen your spiritual foundation like temple service and temple worship."
As we watched these young men and young women draw closer to the Savior, we witnessed the truth of his words.
📖 “And now, my beloved brethren, remember, remember that it is upon the rock of our Redeemer, who is Christ, the Son of God, that ye must build your foundation.” — Helaman 5:12
We are grateful for these precious moments that help our youth build their lives upon Jesus Christ and prepare to become lifelong disciples of Him. ❤️
