We held our
Nine Country YSA Conference on August 8-12th in the mountain city of Dobogokö, just north of Budapest. What a wonderful event as we had 110 YSA's attend from all over Eastern Europe. The countries that were represented were:
Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Slovenia, Romania, Moldova, Bosnia, Serbia, and
Hungary. We also had a fewYSA come from
USA, Austria, and UK.
"The Standard of Truth has been Erected". What a wonderful event our committee put together. We enjoyed institute classes, firesides, marriage and dating classes, lantern making, puppet theatre, missionary tools and dance classes. They also enjoyed speed-dating, hikes and a physical challenge course. The Hungarian TV station came and recorded for two of the four days we were there. One of the highlights of the week was the
"Your Heritage" event. Every country did a presentation on the history of the church in their country. Many stories of miracles in those early days were shared. We were all touched by the strength of those early pioneers.
