This past week was one of the most amazing weeks of my life! Seriously, I'm not kidding. (: I had the incredible opportunity to attend EFY up in Logan at Utah State. Not to mention, I went with one of my best friends, Rachel. We had a BLAST!!! :)
Here are some pictures!! :D (sorry - some of these are kind of blurry and not the best quality!)

This next picture has a little bit of a story behind it...
Towards the middle of EFY, the girls in my company decided that we wanted to do something for each of the guys, because, well, they were awesome! We decided to write a note to each guy. Each of them had a card, which each of the girls signed. This was our gift to them. On the last night, after our last devotional together as a company, we gave the guys their cards. Then, they all got up, huddled, and then lined up to form a semi-circle. They called each girl up, one at a time, and one of the guys gave her a rose. Is that the cutest thing you have ever heard or what? (: The guy who gave me mine was David, who said, "I loved getting to know you." I thought it was so sweet! :D Anyway, this is a picture of happy me, with my BEAUTIFUL rose that night.

I learned so many incredible things during EFY. Here are a few of them:
Our need for turning to the scriptures is greater NOW than at any other time.
"If you have not chosen the kingdom of God first, it will in the end make no difference what you have chosen instead." - Neal A. Maxwell
"Do we have the moral courage to stand firm for our beliefs, even if by so doing we must stand alone?" - President Thomas S. Monson
"A testimony is found in the bearing of it." - Boyd K. Packer
And this one is going to be one of my motto's:
"Read and pray every day, and you will be okay."
We have been given this very moment, to open our hearts, and to listen closer.
There is a hope that's burning within us. When we let it spark, it illuminates.
We have been chosen for this generation, and we are here with fair to discover.
We're finding our voices, making the choices. As we live our truth, we help each other:
Shine...bright into a world that's waiting for your light. Lift it up. Right now is our time, to arise and shine.
So let His love guide our lives. And be a beacon that we hold up when we:Shine...bright into a world that's waiting for your light. Lift it up. Right now is our time, to arise and shine!
(Arise and Shine - 2012 EFY Theme Song)
Thanks for patiently reading this really long post!! :D
Lots and Lots and Lots of Love, Brianna
