The evening started out with a speech by President Thomas S. Monson. He told the kids he loved them and that they would always remember this time in their lives. He told them to write their feelings down in their journals as soon as they got home. He blessed the youth...and it was beautiful. It was so amazing to be in the presence of a true and living prophet of God.
