MIA SHALOM!

My last year at Girls Camp. This year there were a lot of changed rules and All new leaders.. it was kinda scary and we were up in the Wilderness section, luckily this year pappa bear said we had enough water to even take showers! awesomeness. I was a Ward YCL this year, though they let us sing up front w/everyone and Go on the famous Brownie hike! the first day was easy we set up camp and then got all gussied up for the girls arrivals, then after flag our first thing we did was certification, i took on the 4th years which was just Ester my best buddie! That night i got to read a book to the girls called "Hanna the no cow wife" i really enjoyed reading to them.

On the second day We performed our skit to everybody it was awesome! and turned out perfect. some girls said it was the best. That made me feel better because Lizzie and I wrote up the play and i was affraid it was kinda lame. i think we had Water Front this day but i dont remember if it was the first day or not. whoopie! We packed into 3cars, at water front. Lizzie, Josie, and I sared a canoe. Everyone lined up and then off we went to find a duck and then some plastic toy balls that would end up spelling Virtue, we also had to go around at least one flag and then back to the dock. Our canoe came in second, after that we just went around collecting as many ducks and balls we could, then blue and magenta got married in our boat, we also would go around splasing people! at one time we got like at least 4 canoes all stuck together and all of us splashing!! it was the funnest, we were so wet. On the way back up we were in sister Hills car up in the lead, we sat in the back with it open but it got to dusty so we got in side...Thats when we decided to stop again and do the Chinese Fire drill in front of everyone else, it was so funny!! when we got closer to camp we did it again. After resting and listening to Josie read a francis book in a british accent we did some crafts. it's a doll and you pull the strings to get her to go up. i think it was that night when we did singing in the trees. I picked the song called "How do you move a mountain" by Jesse Clark Funk. I got worried cause everyone was singing hymns. but later two girls came up to sister Brodrick and said that they loved it and felt the spirit there.

Thursday we had the BEST SURPRISE ever! sister Smith and Marilyn our old camp director and dearest friend showed up in the morning by slamming the door open and saying morning girls!! Josie Lizzie and I just booked it out of bed and hugged her. she brought us doughnuts, then we went on our service hike, and performed our skit for her. later we played Mafia, Ten Fingers, some cool one Carmen showed us idk what it's called, a Wink that kills, and my personal camp favorite Marilyn showed us called Catagories +water. After finishing we just chilled. but soon a girl came running into the cabin saying come out side and see this!! Sister Juarez and Marilyn were singign and dancing...soon all the girls joined in it was so funny. I believe the Brownie hike was this day, tell me if i'm wrong. Well i left early with Josie, and Lizzie to 'set up'. i had fun but getting all the girls to cooperate was hard, i found out that michael jackson died while i was 'on' the brownie hike.

Friday was our hike day, sister Uhl was in charge and i asked her if she didnt mind us going to the lonepine and she said it was allright. the whole time i was up front way ahead of every one it was really nice. then we took the long way back and we were quite far from every one else and i was the oldest so i felt some responsibility which was kinda cool, we saw a dear on our way back and that was pretty sweet. after resting a bit we had golden hour, then the bishop was supposed to arrive but he didnt until after flag, as he was making dinner it started to HAIL!! so hard. it was AWESOME. we ended up eating dinner in the pavillion, and showing our skit again. That night was an AMAZING testimony night. The next day after packing up Annie and I left early cause we had family stuff going on. I hope i get called to the young womens when i leave.



AMAZING PICTURES COMMING SOON!!!!!!
