Roughout Camp

This past week, I hopped into a big white van and headed up the canyon on a dirt rocky bumpy road and saw flags of the eight Young Women values. I got to be with my friends for four whole days. Boy was I... EXCITED! It turned out that it was really fun. We made moccasins, decorated journals, had turkey sandwiches, read stories about girls that were struggling in life, had cookouts, ate NAVAJO TACOS! (Boy was I in heaven!) Read scriptures, decorated totem poles, and slept with all my friends in a ten man tent! NOTHING GETS BETTER THAN THAT!

But my favorite thing about camp, was doing the activity called In Her Shoes. This activity helped me understand that I am really blessed. What we had to do, was there was a story and a pair of shoes. You had to step into those shoes and read a story about a girl. These stories about young girls were really sad. I felt really blessed to have a mom and a dad that loved and cared about me.


My second favorite thing that I did at camp, was when I got to go canoeing with my friend Natalie. We paddled against the wind, and all the other big things. We were HARD CORE!
Although she is really funny. She almost flipped us over! But my reply was : HA HA HA HA HA!

My last favorite part, was being in a big white van and listening to church songs. My friend Hayle had a CD in her car that I had made for her. I enjoyed listening to that all week! I had a blast! I enjoyed being with friends that I don't get to be with that often. I am grateful that I had that experience at camp.
