YSA Conference

Bering building where the conference was held

Check in at 4:00

Girl from Louisiana, Ryan Williams, Aaron Baker, Aaron Baker's girlfriend, Wendy Thompson

4:30 was the start of the meet and greet, aka speed dating which I did not participate in, I just documented instead. The first guy in the white shirt using his Jedi powers on his date is Loren, as in the Loren that Alison went on a few dates with who I think is a butt face for not getting a clue... anyway, and the red head pulling the goofy face is Elder Sam Morrill from the Spokane Washington mission. We served together in Othello. He was English speaking while I was Spanish so we don't really know each other, just enough to have said hello.

Girl smiling is Kristin Howe, a new friend who is lots of fun

Alison is participating and featured in this picture is Jeff, the guy in the black shirt, who she ended up dancing with and giving her number to at the end of the night.
