A few weeks ago I was privileged to go to girls camp for the second time. We went to Heber Valley and had a wonderful time. We were each assigned a yurt to sleep in and then we picked a bunk. We then went on a five mile hike that turned out to be seven and that was all up hill!
The next day we did the boating. We picked a canoe and went out. After a while of being on the water they blew a horn signaling silence, no one spoke, paddled or made noise as we all saw God's creations. His peace was there as well as the spirit, after two minutes we began to boat again.
On Wednesday we did the Challenge Course, we walked across a tight rope 50 feet in the air and we did a trust fall. It was hard for our minds, hearts, and bodies.
On Thursday we did the service project. We spread bark on the challenge course so falls wouldn’t hurt. We would load the wheel barrows and haul them up the mountain to the stations. It was hard, hot, and fun. I was privileged to be able to do two sessions of the project. I loved it. When the session was done, they would talk about how we were helping others and that we would never see the products, but others would be thankful. They then talked about how Heavenly Father knew each of us personally. I had heard that many times but before that it never clicked. He knew me. He loved me. I knew that up on that mountain and I know it now.
On Friday we went home, a long and trying bus ride! It was fun though; we played games and sang songs. I slept through part of the ride, another part I laughed at the water fight behind me. We had so much fun. We also learned as our theme to STAND.
