Girls Camp

Today we got home from girls camp. I have loved that I could go with my girls these last two years to camp. I was nervous about going this year since we are so new to this ward. The women that I serve with are great women but I just don't know them that well. Madison and Allison are still getting to know the girls too so I worried about how they would do. Everyone has been great in the new ward but I still just worry since we are so new and there are also many other new people. Will the girls get lost in the crowd? We left for camp early Tuesday morning. Sister Terry assigned what cars each girl would be in so Madison and Allison were in different cars and I had a car full of girls I didn't know that well. It was a fun ride up getting to know the girls in my car. I am not the best with directions so I tried to stay with someone the whole way so we wouldn't get lost. About 5 miles from camp I got stuck at a light in Ketchum and got separated from the rest of the cars. I was nervous but made it to camp. Madison and Allison also made it camp fine and enjoyed there ride up with the girls in their car. We camped at camp Manapu which is about 5 miles out of Ketchum Idaho. It was beautiful in the mountains and the weather was perfect.

I was so impressed with the girls and their willingness to jump in and get camp set up. Everyone helped unloading and setting up the tents. A lot of hands makes for lite work. Once we had everything set up we had a group picture.

These girls are a great bunch of girls. I was impressed that we didn't have any fighting or back biting. The girls did their best to try to include everyone in the activities. It was a great week and we had a lot of fun with all the activities that were planned. I could not believe how much there was for the girls to do. It was probably one of the best camps I have been to.

I hope that I get to go again with my girls to camp. Madison only has one year left. She is not a camper so I hope that she goes her last year because so much can be learned at camp and testimonies are strengthened. Allison has learned that she is a little allergic to camp but I am sure that she will go back. She has a great time and is sad when she misses out on things because of her asthma or heart palpitations like this year. Maybe her third year will be the year for her for it to go off without a hitch.
