Girls Camp

In March I was called as the Young Women's camp director. I was excited to take the calling because I have never served in the Young Women's before. When I took the call I really didn't know what I took on but I had a great group of women to work with and we got it all done. It was also great working with the Laurels and having their help. I was also excited to be at camp with both Madison and Allison.

Thankfully it was stake camp so the planning was not as involved as ward camp would have been. My last week of school just happened to fall on the week of camp.

At the last minute the stake had to change where we were going because of a wildfire. It was stressful to make this change at the last minute but it all seemed to work out.

We went up to camp on Monday and as soon as everyone got there it started to rain. It was not a normal short sprinkle that we are used to here in Idaho either but it rained for a long time. We were in the middle of setting up camp when it started and some people thought that it would be great to keep on going. The tents were soaked and we were all soaked. I was amazed at how wonderful all the girls were. It was miserable conditions but they stayed in good spirits and helped wherever they were needed. Everyone pitching in and working really made a bad situation better. I was thankful that it only rained on Monday and the rest of the week we were able to carry on with our planned activities.

I had a fun time with all the girls. I am so glad that I had this experience before we moved out of the ward. This ward has been such a big part of our life for so long.
