New Years Eve Predance Party

New Years Eve Predance Party at The Kawick's house. 

New Years Eve Dance

New Years Eve Dance, Tuesday the 31st at our stake center. 9 pm.-12 am.

Mutual - Volleyball

The Deacons Quorum was responsible for planning mutual. They chose to play volleyball with a twist. It was a combined activity, so we ended up having three teams that would rotate.  We played with one regular ball and two beach balls. We all had a lot of fun.

City Council

Tuesday night, 5 of our eagle scouts were recognized at a city council meeting. Fidel Cruz, Jesse Dimmit, Jordan Jocelyn, Jake Linville, and Silas Winn, were each given an award.

Some of the deacons from our ward, Shawn Gonsales, Eric Jocelyn, Steven Knox, and Quincy Pennock, led the flag salute. They presented the colors and led the audience in the pledge of allegiance. 

Visit the Children

The Priests and Laurels went to the Helen Bernardy Center for Medically Fragile Children (Next to Rady Children's Hospital).  The youth helped the children make Halloween crafts and read them books.  It was a humbling and rewarding experience for all.

The center encourages visitors and the visits mean a lot to the children,  For more information, see http://www.rchsd.org/programsservices/a-z/g-h/helenbernardycenterformedicallyfragilechildren/ 

SFH Youth Conference 2013

The theme for our Ward Youth Conference was "Serving in the Way of the Lord" (Matthew 25:35).

Friday night we met at the Chapman's home and heard from EFY Speaker Sister Susan Shupe.  We were all uplifted by her message. 

Early Saturday morning, we went to the Temple.  We had 28 youth there.  Afterwards, we went to the Governor Building to make lunches for ourselves and the homeless.  We divided into 5 teams and each team was responsible for finding somewhere to go.  We went to downtown San Diego, Pet Co Park, Balboa Park, Pacific Beach.  

We then met at the Mormon Battalion Visitor center for a tour.

We ended up at the beach for pizza, watermelon, s'mores, swimming, and hanging out.
