During conference, Elder Lawrence of the Seventy talked about our youth theme for the year: Joshua 1:9 "Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest." I love this verse! It's one of my most favorite ones. It's such a wonderful promise, that He is here, no matter where and when. I loved how he applied it to the parents of the youth right now. I think it is so important that the parents are strong and have good courage, to stand up for what needs to be done. I liked how he talked about how if you saw your daughter sitting on the train tracks and heard the train horn honking, would you run and get her off the track or be worried about offending her and let her make her own decision about getting off. The train is a physical threat, but there are so many other threats that aren't, that parents need to step up and take care of. I loved it!
In other news... ReAL is in 1st place for the first time ever!!! (Except of course, winning the actual MLS championship last year). Of course, this will be ending in about 20 minutes, when the LA Galaxy vs. Chivas is over.
