Inspired by their own experiences at For the Strength of Youth conferences and wanting to give their ward members something similar, teenagers in the Marshfield Ward of the Springfield Missouri Stake planned, organized, and executed an “FSA”—“For the Strength of Adults.”
The one-day conference on Jan. 17 included devotionals, lessons, scripture study, activities, and fellowship for more than 80 members of the ward.
As Magdalena Buckner, 16, went throughout the ward building that day checking on classrooms, she saw the adults engaged in learning and in “spiritual feasting.”
“I just got so emotional because I was like, ‘This is what this is for.’ The reason we planned this activity is because we wanted to be able to give back to the adults that have given us so much love and support throughout our time as youth,” Magdalena said. “It was just really incredible to be able to see that interaction and see the Spirit that the adults were feeling.”
