just want to take the time to share my experience and feelings in this year's FSY conference. At the very start of one of the most happiest and spiritually inclined 5 day event of my life, I have already learned a lot of things. I met new people that was with me through the whole week, to guide and help me through the event. I learned more of our Savior Jesus Christ, learned more of His atonement, how we can truly center our life to Him, knew that He is always there for us. Agency is one of the lessons we tackled. He gave us the free will to choose between good or bad, or at times, the good or the better choice. In this matter, I knew that when I chose to join the FSY conference, I knew that I made the better and higher choice. I know that the FSY con is made for us youth to further learn of Jesus Christ and Heavenly Father, to gain new friends that can help us keep our path to the Savior. I learned that such conferences helps us be more like Him and become a better example for other youth. I also enjoyed the Sharing the Gospel activity. I learned of the ways of the missionaries and how the flow of their teachings should be. It has helped me improve my confidence in sharing the gospel to other people. And ofcourse, joining in such an activity helped me gain new friends. I have a lot left to share about my experience in this year's FSY conference, but to make it brief, this activity has helped me grow my testimony. Made me understand how important Jesus Christ is to me. I made a lot of new friends and it helped me start a habit of reading the scriptures again. It strengthened my burning desire to serve a mission, to help others to Come Unto Christ. FSY helped me remember the cairns of the covenant path.
I felt very close to our Savior Jesus Christ for that whole week. I also want to thank Company 9 (Mammon fighters) for the fun and spiritual moments with all of you. The leaders that guided us through FSY (Ate Bianca, Ate Monica, Ate Jam, Ate Princess, Kuya Rhover), I thank all of you and please know that I have learned a lot from each one of you. And for my new found youth friends from company 9, I saw how each one of you has grew stronger in terms of your temporal and spiritual aspects. Seeing each one of us grow stronger has made me feel so happy. The testimonies we all shared on Day 4 is one of the things that supports our growth throughout the FSY con, I had a hard time stopping myself from tearing up hearing all of your testimonies. I really felt the spirit within our group as we shared our testimonies, the things we realized and somehow improved to ourselves. And to that one former classmate of mine, I am very happy that you chose to join FSY. I thank you too for giving FSY a chance to help you grow.
I thank each and everyone of those involved in this FSY conference, specially Mama P and Papa P.
And for those youth that wasn't able to join this year's conference, I hope that this experience of mine will inspire you to attend the conferences to come. I know that as you join FSY, you will be drawn closer to our Savior Jesus Christ. It will also be a way to detach ourselves to the outside world and make new friends that can help us grow spiritually. And lastly, I know that "I can do all things through Christ" (Philippians 4:13).
