Bethany went to FSY this week! (FSY=For the Strength of Youth). Megan drove her to BYU and helped her get settled into Heritage Halls on Monday and we didn't see her again until Saturday morning! She reports having an amazing week! She met new friends and had a great time hanging out with them everyday. She went to classes and devotionals and learned things about herself and God. She sang. She danced. She cheered. She says she was tired everyday but she was able to do everything. We are so grateful for that strength that was an answer to many prayers in her behalf. We are so happy for her amazing week!

Benjamin forged on for most of the week without Bethany, but he, too, got to go on an adventure come Thursday. The young men in our ward took a trip to Flaming Gorge. Ben slept in his own tent and sleeping bag. They went cliff jumping on Thursday and Friday and Ben loved it! He came home with his fingers scraped from climbing the rocks over and over again. On Friday they floated the river and did some rapids. Ben said it was beautiful. (Well, I asked him if it was beautiful, and he said, "Yeah. It was really pretty.") He had a good time with the other young men and even considers them his friends, and that is a win!

On Saturday, Kevin and I got to go see his brother, Michael and wife Aftyn and see their boys race in some BMX races. It was so fun to see them again and to see the BMX world and learn more about it! It was a fun morning!

I also helped with a kids camp for work Monday thru Wednesday this week every morning. It was fun and in a beautiful park next to the Provo river. I liked being there, but it was hard to be away from Ben and know he was home alone and it took a lot of time. I also had a few other appointments and homework. Somehow, Ben and I managed to get the blinds and decorations put back up in the kitchen before he left on his trip. That was also a win!
