Youth Conference Take 2

Three young men ready to learn. One old man posing.
Lining up for lunch. Girls went first...a new concept here. The girls went through so fast I missed them.
Singing, singing, all the day.
Courtyard class room! Missionary prep class.
Closing exercises. Over 600 youth. Elder Kola Area Seventy speaking to them about being pioneers in the Congo.
Smiles, and joy of living.
Lotsalove.
Personal Progress in the shape of an airplane. Get on board!
Snack anyone? A really nice Muslim Store Manager donated cookies "to the youth at the Church".
Snacks give you energy for your next class!
Pascal teaching punctuality and dependability.
Some of our awesome guides for the day.


De De , (you say it Day Day) and Elder Hatch greet the wonderful youth as they enter.
What a great experience these two youth conferences have been. Hooray for the Congo.
