camp

Well, I said that I would write about camp on Sunday, but I got home a little earlier than I thought....so here goes!!

I really wish that I had pictures, but I forgot a camera...oops!!!!

Anyway, camp was so fun!!! We got there on Wednesday, and we had a little "get to know you" game. All we had to do was talk to people, and doing that didn't really help much, because the people I talked to didn't end up being my friends anyway, but later on I made such good friends!!

WEDNESDAY

It wasn't all that fun on Wednesday because we were just getting used to the camp and stuff...and we were pretty busy. We had classes and stuff, and those classes actually taught me a lot.

THURSDAY

Thursday was SO much better! I actually had a couple more friends, and they are awesome!! We went on a hike that day, it was about 2 hours...we drove up to the lake, but then we hiked a trail right by it...it was very green. I almost fell a couple times because we went off trail and climbed some rocks, but I had a great time. When we were driving back, we saw the group of first-years walking up to the lake...tee hee! They looked tired and we kind of felt bad....but they all got back in one piece!

FRIDAY

I think Friday was the best day, only because we had Testimony Meeting...that is my favorite part about camp. Apparently we were there for about 2 1/2 hours...but it didn't feel like it at all! I got up and bore my testimony...I had all of this stuff planned out, but right as I got up there, I kinda forgot, and I just said things...lol. Yes, I cried. But my favorite part was when my friend Brandey gave her testimony....it was awesome. She was only baptized last year and she loves the church. Her cousins are really mean to her, and it makes me sad. Everytime they do something to her, she looks really sad. But when Brandey's cousin got sick, she was always checking on her and making sure she was okay, and when her cousing left, she cleaned up her bunk and made her bed, just because she wanted to be nice to her. I was amazed, she is such a good person!! I asked her why she did that, and she said, "Well, doesn't our church say that even if people are mean to you, we should still be nice back?" Wow. That was a REALLY good answer. Anyway, =), In her testimony, she said, "In all of the other churches I've been to, I didn't feel anything at all. But when I came here last year, I felt the Spirit, and I felt like Heavenly Father was right beside me the whole time. I know this church is true" Grrr! she made me cry!! Well, Brandey is an amazing person! luv ya Brandey!!

There is also a helper there, his name is Brother Temple....(Harry) and every single time he talks, he brings the Spirit...it's pretty cool...=D he got up and I couldn't help but cry, he's just awesome. All of the Young Women have a song for him....it is,

"We love you Harry,
Oh, yes we do!
We love you Harry,
And we'll be true.
When you're not with us,
We're blue!
Oh, Harry, we love you!!"


hee hee! I like that song!!




So, all in all, camp was awesome!! I can't wait till next year, and I'll be a 3rd year!! yay!!
