Hi Guys!

Yep! I'm back everyone and I'm TOUCHED at how many people have missed me! crying --tears of joy! When I got home I checked my messeges to find ---> 37 <--- unread messeges!!!! eek I was scared! I was afraid I might've done something illegal and the police were like after me and calling my house or something bizzar along those lines! 3nodding Well lucky for me it was only the complaintes of the neighborhood and community, heck the whole town seemed to have left a message. I'm touched! 4laugh Really I am.
okay well the first week was EFY and it was a blast!

Day 1
We woke every morning at 6am and cleaned around the dorm and went to breakfast at about 7am after having a group devotional! After breakfast we met with our companies, mine was named Nevertheless, and we headed to our morning fireside singing and chanting our companies as loud as we could! At the fireside we would sing songs watch demos in the lesson and highlight important scriptures in our book of mormon and such. (yes by the way I am mormon) We would then go out to the feild, all 620 of us and play games like no other! We played the funnest games that involved EVERYONE and most importantly taught teamwork! It was amazing to watch SO many people working together for the same goal! It was SO fun! By the time we got back to our dorms we had goten to know our councelors better and even our roomates! I had amazing roomates and a KICK-BUTT councelor! I loved her to peices! and after that amazing week she promised to send me the invatation to her wedding in December and I'm REALLY looking forward to it! But that was only the FIRSt day!

Day 2
After our daily morning fireside we went to very uplifting classezs and learned more about different propects of my religion tha were very important and interesting to me! While doing so I gained a greater understanding of why I'm here and where I might just end up depending on what I do in this life! It was all VERY cool to me! So after the classes we sang songs and I tried out for a solo for the talent show later in the week, I didn't make it and compared to the other singers I was AMAZING I even made it to the callbacks! But I was all that surprised when I didn't make it as my voice hasn't TOTALY returned but hey! It's getting way better! By the way! About my voice It's almost completely back! It's still alittle scratchy at times but I'm sure I'll be able to sing again! Yes!!!

Day 3
We spent hours working on our companies cheer and we practiced until perfection! Our cheer made the VERY last two finalists and we made 2nd place in the best cheer of all 17 companies! It was very exciting! Something that was special to me was that I was able to most of the coreography for our group and invent most of the song and cheer to put them togehter for everyone! I was elected Companie Leader after that! I guess you could call it I was MVP! Yeah It was a GOOD day!

Day 4
We attended our last classes together and they were VERY good! I learned to find the doctorine hidden betwen the lines and learn to apply the scriptures better to daily life, instead of just reading them as a book of history I learned that they were preserved just for this generation! I'm so excited now that I've com back to be a better person, in more ways than one!

Day5
Our last day was a good one! We have testimony meetings and I loved it! Those were my favorite parts of EFY personally! I beared my testimony with all my heart and I felt so good inside!

There's really not much else I can write without invading some dangerous ground involving religion, I do not wish to make enemies and I don't want me being mormong to fool anyone of the person I really am with all the steryotyping going around. We aren't all about polygamy and we do not worship Joseph Smith and we do not drink or smoke because we believe in taking care of our bodies, yeah we're a lil different I suppose but it's for the better, I'd rather stay healthy and clean woudln't you? Besides by keeping all of our standards in a way it gives us more freedom! I know I'm sounding like a preacher but once again I promise I'm not a religion phsyco! I'm a normal girl with her own beliefs just like everyone, but this is one of my favorite topics and for more info pm me and I'd love to debate or discuss the matters with you! ^^
Well that was EFY and I loved it! I made LOTS of friends and I will never forget what EFy did for me! THANK YOU EFY!!

ALRIGHTALRIGHTALRIGHTALRIGHTALRIGHT-HEY!!! *clapclapclapclapclapclapclapclapclcpalcpclapclapclapcclapclcapclcp*

Your friend,
Tess
