EFY

Last week, I went to EFY at Provo, Utah BYU. I have to admit, I was really scared. What if no one likes me? What if I get lost? You know, the standard questions. I left early Monday morning; I got up at 3:30 to catch a 6:00 am. flight. Thank you Mom for helping me! I landed in Salt Lake City Airport at 10:00 am and waited for my cab that would take me to BYU. It arrived at 10:30, on time, and I was at BYU in time for check in. Check in was...interesting! Many excited kids, and anxious parents, all trying to find out where to go. Little old me just quietly snuck my way to an information booth. There, I was told were to go and what to do. I managed to check in, BY MYSELF!, and find the correct dorm. I was the first girl of my company to get there. But I wasn't alone for long. Girls from my company came soon after me. I met my roommate and another girl. Madison was in the room next to me, and Tamsen was my roommate. That's when it started to get exciting. I met the rest of my company and my counselors, who were AMAZING! I love them and they were super nice to me. After meeting everyone, the rest of the day went great! EFY could be a lot of fun! The rest of the week was pretty great too. On Tuesday, there was a dance, which I had a great time at. Also on Tuesday were Variety Show Try-Outs and Musical Program singers. I joined the Musical Program and even sang a solo! Wednesday was game night and pizza night. All of the companies competed with each other in silly games and after words, had pizza together. Thursday was the most spiritual day of them all. It was the day of the Variety Show, Musical Program, testimony meetings, and service project. I ended up crying, which is amazing for me. Friday was also great! It was kinda a wind-up of the whole week. We saw a slide show of pictures that were taken throughout the week, there were musical presentations, and final words from the couple who were in charge. Overall, EFY was amazing. I'm so glad I went. Even with my fears and being alone, I had a great, spiritual time. I will be doing it again next year. Maybe I'll learn something new, again. Now, for the fun part. Here are the pictures that I took throughout the week.

Sorry that all of the pictures are small! 2 things; 1) first time with pictures and 2) there are so many pictures, it's kinda better that they're small. =) EFY was amazing! I'm so glad I went AND took pictures!
