The Hero of Tomorrow is the Example of Today

It has been a couple months since I have offered any new insight into my life. I decided today would be that month. I am having amazing experiences at EFY (Especially For Youth). I have the opportunity to meet new people who are in my eyes so much better than anyone in the world. There are a few that I have deemed Examples Today-Heroes Tomorrow. There are six of these heroes in my life today; they are the amazing people I work with at EFY.

First we have my Co-Coordinator Staci...the Bold. Staci has this unique way of keeping everything organized and under control even when the pressure is on. She keeps the smile and the heart when they are breaking in everyone else. She is warm and caring to all she meets and she strives her hardest to allow the Spirit to teach through her. Staci also has confidence like a Titan that allows her to be a perfect example of righteousness without faltering. She is my Aggie in a sea of Cougars!

Next is Brooke, our Laughter in the Waves of Stress. I am not sure how she does it, but it is like the room gets brighter when she enters the room. She has the ability to help people smile no matter the situation and she plays a wicked raptor! It is amazing because one can't do anything but smile when they see Brooke. And if you ever want to hear the Spirit more than you ever have in your life, listen to her sing.

Lindsey is our Violin for our Symphony. She compliments our group and it would be lacking without her. She is the violin because she plays the violin and I don't believe there could be anyone better. I love that she shares her talent as much as she can-a great example of using talents to bless God's children. Lindsey has the heart of a lion (that just reminded me of Care Bears, but I guess that is Tender Heart Bear). Having the heart of a lion means being able to take care of everyone emotionally and still keep it together yourself. She is amazing!

Elle is our Bonus Check in an ocean of Debt. Really-the bonus in our lives. She is the gem on our team. The youngest, but the most full of heart and voice. She always has a story to tell or knowledge to give about anything in life. Anytime you want a heartfelt story or goofy experience to brighten your day find Elle. Her heart goes into not only her stories, but everything she does. She focuses on something and ensures it gets completed (even with A/V).

Christian is our Oasis in the Desert of Distress. I am not sure how he is able to sleep at all because he is always helping someone. If you ever want to find Christian at EFY, just look for someone who needs help and he will be there shortly, if not there already. My favorite thing about Christian is his cheerful Disney-like attitude. I have never once seen him without a good attitude-even when the ship is sinking, Christian is telling us its just a little rain (while he single handedly pumps all the water off the ship).

Ryan is our Plumber in the Puddle of Life. He is good at everything-no matter what it is. This goes from Basketball to teaching. His heart is in everything he does and he never wants to do anything half. His talents cross cultures as well; he has the ability to knit any person's heart with his own and with others. He loves everyone and is a great example of how our Savior would act if He was with us.

These are a few of my new heroes. My Examples of Christ today, our Heroes of Tomorrow.
