In my three years of being a Young Single Adult and two and a half years at BYU-Idaho, I have sat through my fair share of dating devotionals and temple talks. Marriage is not a new topic of discussion by any means.
That being the case, why was I so surprised to find that it’s no different (if not more so advertised) in Peru YSA activities?
I don’t even know where to begin with this one!
We had a 4 day Young Single Adult Conference filled with dancing, field trips, games, service, devotionals, testimony meetings, talks, firesides etc.

Every single one of those was jam packed, if not completely centered around love, marriage and the temple. Finding the right spouse, taking risks, not judging solely by physical attributes. The list goes on and on.
It started with the convention-kick-off culture night talent show. There was singing and dancing and skits, typical talent show no? And between every act, a phone number was given out.
It was downhill from there. Any and every opportunity to talk about marriage was fully taken advantage of. It was ridiculous, but reminded us of home sweet Rexburg :)
