2019 INTERNATIONAL GRAND CONVENTION EDITION
A MESSAGE FROM MARY Hello, My Friends, We are all still amazed with the memories of our cruise to Alaska. It was wonderful to share the experience with so many who had never seen the ruggedness of the Alaskan wilderness or even been on a cruise before. We had a fun time meeting new members of our Young Living family and reconnecting with old friends and those in our individual organizations. But, of course, our greatest event was our 25th-anniversary International Grand Convention: 25 Years Young. The thrill of our growth and the special opportunity to spend time with all of you in attendance is hard for me to grasp. I was excited to open the convention with our event-exclusive blend, 25 Years Young™, which combines the essences of what Gary created to maintain physical and emotional youthfulness. For many months I planned my presentation to discuss the beginning of Young Living through Gary’s eyes as a young man looking for modalities that would help him heal. I wanted everyone to see how we evolved out of his desperate desire to walk again and be free of pain. Our members—old and new alike—received new insight into the birth and heart of who we are. On the cruise I shared some discoveries I made while reviewing one of Gary’s early presentations in which he went into great detail about the body’s need for amino acids and minerals. There are nine amino acids that must be converted from the food we eat. But how do we get them when our food is so deficient? AminoWise™ is one of Gary’s great formulas that we need to be taking every day. And since minerals are the building blocks of health, we also need to include Mineral Essence™ in our daily routines. These two products should be on the top of the list of the most important supplements our bodies need. Mineral Essence is easy to take daily—just put it in a shot glass with ice-cold NingXia Red® and chug it down. Your body will thank you so much. Just go for it,

Approximately 4,000 members sacrificed sleeping in on Saturday to join us for a superhero-
themed 5K and 5K relay race. Runners daring enough to dress to the theme added an element of surprise to the typical downtown landscape of Salt Lake City. The six incredible vehicles in this year’s Ride for a Reason lineup brought in record-breaking donations. Kathy and Chip Kouwe took home one of the most special vehicles Ride for a Reason has ever seen: D. Gary Young’s personal Dodge Ram 3500 as well as a fully customized Harley Sportster.
