Embark!!

This is great!!
(You may not get the first part and that's okay!)

 
For youth of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, this is our theme for 2015. (The video is the theme song1.) And isn't it wonderful?
This has to be my favorite theme.

em·bark

verb \im-ˈbärk\
: to begin a journey especially on a ship or airplane
intransitive verb
1
:  to go on board a vehicle for transportation <the troops embarked at noon>
2
:  to make a start <embarked on a new career>
transitive verb
1
:  to cause to go on board (as a boat or airplane)
2
:  to engage, enlist, or invest in an enterprise2
Embark. What a cool word.
I love how there are so many different things that embark can mean but still mean something closely related! I don't know if that really made any sense but I think it's just wonderful.

 In the video it was just amazing how many different ways youth were serving. They were embarking.
It's so awesome!! Not to mention, embark also means "to make a start." Embarking is doing something new, trying something out. In other words, beginning a journey.

So, what are you going to do to embark this year?
