Rapid City, 2005
I had a really great F.O.T. in Rapid City. The weather was excellent the entire time. I don't think there was ever more than a light sprinkle for precipitation. Highs in the mid 60's and lows in the 30's.

The teen activity was very enjoyable. There were 36 teens in attendance. We had pizza, played a few games, & then went on a 3 mile (or so) hike to the top of a large hill. On the way back Josh Kerr, Sharon Rowbal, Derek Lee and I went down the opposite side of the hill than the main group. Along the way Derek found an old frisbee. We tossed it around for awhile until we got to the bottom. At the bottom of the hill was a small river which all of us could cross except Derek who couldn't get his foot dirty becuase of the recent surgery on his toe. So Josh had to cross back over and give him a piggyback ride across. Since we were in a small group and could move quickly we ended up being 10 minutes ahead of the main group. So during that time we threw the frisbee around until Sharon decided for some unknown reason the hurl the frisbee back across the river (she says it was an accident). Josh and Sharon looked for it but couldn't find it. So we were forced to pass the time with stick fights. Sharon and I were up first. I grab a tiny twig as a joke and toss Sharon a larger branch. I pretended to fight for a little bit until she started swinging really hard. I ran away so she throws the branch at me a hits me in the knuckles. It was quite painful. After that the group caught up and we finished up the rest of the trip together.

The family day took place at an indoor go-kart place. I only raced once on the go-karts because there was only one track and two types of karts so they had to take turns. But there was paintball and batting cages so that's where I spent my time.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Formal Dance was excellent. I helped set up for it. That helped me to appreciate the incredible amount of planning and work involved to put something like that together. It turned out really well. The song selection was good and the entertainment was quite enjoyable.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The messages given throughout were amazing. Mr. Gilchrist gave a sermon on how important we are to God, how compared to the universe we are a "bacteria on a grain of sand." But God still has a tremendous plan for us. He takes the time to teach us and give us every chance to follow His ways. That was the sermon that sticks out most to me but Mr. Monson, Mr. Millich, Dr. Fall and Mr. Ehmen gave great sermons as well.
I was to lazy to make an entirely new post for my blog when I already had a good one youth-web.

Actually, I knew exactly where the frisbee was. I just didn't want to go get it.
