EFY Memories.

So, it's been a few years since I was an EFY counselor at BYU (10 points for knowing where I started being an EFY counselor). However, today I had a chance to catch up with my old boss, Lindsay Wilson, and her husband Travis. They've actually been living in Qatar for the last little bit and are really enjoying their time there.

Anyway, catching up with them reminded me of the days when people like us


would mentor, support, and help kids like this


Those were the days. Let's be honest. With a suit like that, who wouldn't be having fun? Right?

And, to be totally clear, I do miss EFY--but I hope to do some teaching for the program one day. I really think that EFY has the potential to change lives. Not just through the excitement of it all, but through the lessons and learning that happens.

Good times. If memory serves correct, you started off in Canada somewhere, but I don't remember specifically where. I could be totally wrong though.

Wasn't your first EFY experience in Calgary, Alberta Canada which laid the foundation for many more great EFY years at BYU.
