This last weekend, Jeff and his friends used every bit of energy to scale Mt. Whitney. (the highest peak in N. America - 14,505 ft. 22 miles round trip) They hadn't counted on there being so much snow. They woke up at 3AM and hiked for a total of 15 hours!! Jeff said that this was the hardest thing he has ever done physically. (and he's run two marathons!)
Although he was exhausted, and came home with 2 blisters, a gash in his leg from the crampons they wore, and a sunburn under his nose from the reflected sun, Jeff said that he really had a good day and learned a few things about himself up there... but, he said "I don't ever plan on doing that again!"

Easter Sunday
Easter was really busy because of Youth Conference. We were so tired! Saturday night was the big dance. So we stayed out late dancing like we were teenagers still. It was a lot of fun. So on Sunday we had church and I had Sharing Time. Then we did not even go home after church. We went out to Newport Beach for a baptism. Then rushed back home for the Testimony Meeting. It was a really long day! We didn't even get to eat anywhere in there. So on Tuesday we had an after Easter dinner with the Harrington's. What a day. Somewhere in there though we did have the spirit of Easter. The knowledge that it is not about candy and a bunny, it is about Christ and that we can be together forever because of it. 
Youth Conference 09
We love the youth in the church! This was our 5th time being parents for Youth Conference and each year has been different and we have loved every year! This year we had ten girls in our Decker Fam. We loved all these girls and had so much fun!
