I work with the youth 12-18 in my church. It's called Young Women. A few weeks ago we went on a winter retreat in Donnelly, ID. We stayed in a cabin (not tents) and had devotionals on the Young Women Values: Faith, Divine Nature, Individual Worth, Choice and Accountablity, Good Works, Integrity, Virtue.
We also went on a GPS Scavenger hunt on the frozen Casade Lake. It was one of the coolest things to be out on the lake in the dark with all the stars out. We related it to the Liahona in the Book of Mormon and the other guides we have in our lives.

Followed by a Listerine gargling contest!
The next day we slept in, had breakfast and some more devotionals, and went sledding! It was a good time :)
These young women are amazing. Being with them makes me want to try a little harder and be a better person. I am grateful I can share my testimony of the Savior with them.
