GIRLS CAMP 2009!
I have had SO MANY people ask me how Girls Camp was. I honestly wasn't sure how I would feel after four days in the wilderness with 40+ women, young and old. And that was just our Ward. There were 331 girls at our Stake Camp. Crazy, I know.
But I TRULY loved and enjoyed every minute. Besides an idle threat to slash my tires....we bonded with the girls. We were truly blessed by a loving Heavenly Father and were able to reach girls I wasn't sure I'd be able to connect with. We laughed so hard. The girls asked crazy questions that we actually answered. The only time I heard any complaining was Saturday morning when I got to the parking lot and the girls were waiting there, waving their arms, flagging me down. They were in my car ready to go as soon as I opened the door. (Yes, I came home each night. Not because I wanted to necessarily :-), but it actually turned out to be a good thing....foodwise and YW wise.) They survived the last night without bathrooms and water.
I am continually trying to follow promptings no matter how small and insignificant that fleeting thought can be...I had the thought to bring a case of water when I left my house Saturday morning and I didn't. It would have brought great relief to those girls who were still waiting for the other Mom's to get there. But I didn't. And I'm trying to learn from that experience.
So now we look forward to next year. Our husbands don't. But we do.....

I didn't know we were allowed to run for the office but I will if that was the case PS I love the title!!!
Girls Camp is such a great experience. I loved doing it as a leader more than when I was a YW. Too bad you didn't get to stay overnight - that is part of the adventure!
That title about gave me a heart attack! But oh boy - that will rival the milk meltdown in generating laughs! That milk melt down came up the last night of camp again and OH BOY - I coudl NOT stop laughign! I too look forward to camp next year! Thanks for being so great to work with.
