Girls Camp-- Thursday and Friday

 On Thursday we stayed around our camp area.  We did more crafts and we had a fun couple come and  speak to us about, "All Things Bright and Beautiful."  They did an amazing job as did all of the missionaries we came in contact with. There are 67 couples who work at Heber Valley to make  it run smooth.  They are all very kind, helpful and so willing to serve.  I think it would be a cool mission to go on.   We worked on certification and we made balloon and fabric flip flops.    Above is a picture of the YCL's leading us in singing.  We had a lot of fun singing silly camp songs.   We also had my friend Ann Marie's in- laws, who work at the camp, come over for dinner.  They were a lot of fun to talk.
 The bishopric came too that night for dinner. Karlin was in charge of the food and she did amazing.   I think it was the best and most food I had, had in a long time. 

 The picture of all the girls that came during camp.  Minus Lynn Selin who came and  Trisha.  I love this picture because it captures how much laughing Leya truly did.  She was always giggling and she has the cutest giggle that can't help you from smiling.
 It was fun to get to know the girls better and also the leaders I work with.    We have some amazing women in our young woman that I am privileged to work with.  We sure missed you Liz and Mackinzee
This is where we held testimony meeting before everyone got there.   It was a beautiful testimony meeting where the spirit was so strong there.  Every person there bore their testimony.  I don't know if I have ever been to a meeting where that happened.  We have some strong girls in our ward.  There was no drama that happened there at all.  Which is kind of amazing for one week.  Thank you to the priesthood brethren who came up a day, or part of the week--, Brother Maxwell, Brother Selin,  Brother Leah, Brother Hartley, Brother Sampson, Brother McMurdie, and Brother Coulam.

On Friday we got up early and cleaned up the camp.  The girls were so helpful and since we worked together we got out of there almost two hours early.  What a wonderful week.
