JUST A DASH OF KEENA: EFY 2011 {picture overload}

EFY this year was SO fun. every year i go, i always say it was the *best week of my life* and every year just gets better and BETTER! it was so much fun this year i had SO much fun, and i know Briana, Mackenzie and Malia all did too.

Malia and Mackenzie were in the younger group because they are 14, but we still got to be in the same session with them, so we ate with them, sat with them at classes, and sometimes spent free time with them.mine and Briana's roommates were SO fun and they became our new best friends :) their names were Elise and Mckell. we love them!

i learned so much at EFY this year, my testimony was strengthened so much. i love these kind of experiences. i don't want to give you every SINGLE detail about EFY, so i will summarize for you instead

monday
we arrived, unpacked, met our group, met our company, orientation, dinner, FHE, games, nightly devotional, lights out! ~ Briana and i stayed up until 2 that night, bad idea. but we had some good talks that we really needed to talk about. i love her :)

tuesday
morning devotional, breakfast, gospel study, morning-side, 2 classes, lunch, 2 more classes, free time, dinner, dance, nightly devotional, lights out! ~ i love the dances at EFY :) so fun!

wednesday
morning devotional, breakfast, gospel study, morning-side, 2 classes, lunch, 2 more classes, free time, dinner, games night/banner/cheer off, pizza night/girls talk night, nightly devotional, lights out! ~ i love the girls night :) oh yeah, and, it POURED at games night! haha so funny. we were all soaking wet in our white t-shirts

thursday
dress up day, morning devotional, breakfast, gospel study, YM/YW activity, lunch, variety show, free time, dinner, fireside/musical program/medley, testimony meeting, nightly devotional, lights out! ~ this day was SO spiritual. i felt the spirit so much and was uplifted in so many ways. it also was a very emotional day as well. i absolutely loved this day.

friday
morning devotional, breakfast, gospel study, morning-side, For Strength of Youth activity, lunch, service project, free time, dinner, pictures, dance, taking it home/medley, company nightly devotional, lights out! ~ this day was sad as well especially since it was the last day. the nightly devotional with our whole company was really sad and so was the last medley. but lets face it, ANY day we sing the Medley, i bawl. during free time on Friday we also went and got snowies with our whole company! they were so good and SO big!

we TOTALLY met JB at EFY! he looks like him. trust me. you may not think so in these pictures, but trust me, he does. Briana and i saw him at the beginning of the week and took a single picture of his face, then showed Elise and Mckell {also die hard JB fans like Briana and i} and they were like "no, he doesn't look like JB at all"

THEN, we see him Friday again and they see him in PERSON and see him talk, then they were like "OH my he TOTALLY looks like him!" so we all took pictures with him :) oh, and of course we got his number! plus, he lives in Utah! HA!
