Stake Girls Camp

Early this Monday morning my sister and I got the chance to go to stake girls camp. It was so much fun. Our theme this year was "S.O.L.E" which stands for "Strengthening Our Lives Everyday" Each day we learned more about each value with a scripture and a poem. The rest of the day revolved around the value. At the beginning we were given tiny Book of Mormons. They are so cute. I have started it again and I'm almost to second Nephi. Yeah me! The meals were amazing just looking at them I gained 5 pounds. The camp we went to was up in Heber Valley. We got cabins which was fantastic, during Tuesday night when there was a down poor of rain, thunder, and lighting. We got to take a couple of showers during the week but they were extremely cold. So during the downpour a lot of the girls went outside and washed their hair. My leaders in my cabin wouldn't let us go outside and they were asleep, but it was so loud I don't know how they could have stayed asleep. Wednesday during the day we hiked to a lake where we went canoeing. It was so much fun. We tried to have a race with another canoe but in the process we bumped into other boats. We lost. It was great anyway. That night our stake president joined us and we had a fireside we wrote spiritual questions for him and he answered all of them. He also gave us a challenge to learn every ones names by the end of the week, it was hard because there are more than 30 girls give or take a lot. I tried but I probably got maybe 45%. I don't do well with putting faces to names. Thursday night we had a testimony meeting. It was spectacular. The spirit was there. I loved every minutes of it. About 3/4 of the testimonies they said that in the beginning they did not want to come and that they had better things to do. By the end of their testimonies they described how much fun it was and that it was all worth coming for and that's where the lord wanted them to be. I am so glad I went and I know that the lord did want me there this week. I am so happy I went.
