What Adult Coaches Had to Say

 

 

 

"I was able to take the time to go on this trip with my daughter. We will never be the same. I think the parent leader program is great and very valuable." -Bryce, Peru, 2010

"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

 "It taught me to be content with less and focus less on things of the world. Also, it solidified the concept that we are a world-wide church and that we are all brothers and sisters in the gospel." -Rebecca, Belize, 2010

"The work we did provided a meaningful opportunity to serve the people of Niteroi, and in turn, they were warm and engaging and taught us the true meaning of love and service." -Rachel, Brazil, 2010

"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


"This trip has changed my life. I went as an adult coach to 20 of the most amazing young people I have ever met. I grew to love the people of Fiji immensely. They are such a happy people, always smiling, joking, and waving while saying "Bula!" -Tracy, Fiji, 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

 "This was a life-changing experience. The Fijian people will forever be in my heart and in my prayers. I learned more about their culture in three weeks than I could have learned from studying for years." -Margie, Fiji, 2010

 "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
