"Serving the group and the Peruvian people helped me grow closer to my Savior. This was a great group and I loved the
opportunity to share my testimony and help this youth grow closer to Christ." James, Peru, 2012

 

 "I was strengthened spiritually so much by this experience and made some amazing friends! We've already been to 2 other states to visit our HEFY buddies!" -Leslie, Peru, 2010

"I loved it because it was the closest thing spiritually to a mission that I have had since my mission. Being immersed in the culture and providing that kind of service is a spiritual feast!" -Boyd, Fiji, 2010

"This experience will be one that I will reflect on for the rest of my life which will be a reminder of the simple blessings i enjoy each and every day regardless of what the day brings me. Thank you HEFY for organizing this experience which allowed me to touch the lives of strangers across the ocean and at the same time strengthening my own spirituality and character." Denise, Fiji 2012

"Loved the zip lining and waterfall!! Loved walking the streets of Quito and Cuenca at night. Enjoyed visiting the Incan
ruins. All of these places were culturally fun." Jeri, Peru, 2012 

"I loved the example of the Tongan church members of service, commitment, and dedication to the gospel. I appreciated the ways that prayer comforted me. I appreciated the priesthood blessing leaders gave my daughter." -Luana, Tonga, 2010

"HEFY deserves my glowing endorsement. We had a couple of truly unforeseen challenges on our trip and HEFY and our leaders handled these quickly, compassionately, and efficiently. As a parent leader, I would have no hesitation recommending HEFY to other parents." -Selena, Peru, 2010

"I have taken 5 of my grandchildren on these life changing experiences.We have all grown closer on these expeditions.I
will continue to take them on these trips until HEFY tells me I'm too old." John, Belize, 2012



 

 "The interaction with the local people was awesome, but as a parent leader what I enjoyed the most was getting to know the youth in our group. I didn't realize how attached to them I had become until the trip was over. They were great kids." -Boyd, Fiji, 2010
