Girl's camp was full of adventure for sure! Janae Wright and myself made our way up EARLY Thursday morning with plans to be there through Friday. The drive up was the first adventure for the day. The map and road to Lake Lyman proved to be extremely difficult with very vague directions and extremely rough terrain. It was quite the trek in, (it took us about 4 hours) we were so happy when we finally found it! We got there just as flag ceremony was ending. Then it was off with the girls on a hike. Soon after we got back from that it started to rain and it rained and rained. So we ended up spending most of our time in the tents, singing camp songs and playing games. It was so fun to be with all the girls and leaders (who had been there since Tuesday). After dinner it hadn't stopped raining and the tents were leaking. So Brother Hudgins made the decision that we should pack up our camp and be ready to head home after the Stake program "Mountain Top Experience" that evening. Soaking wet we loaded everything up and then went to the program which was phenomenal. The Spirit was so strong, it was so well done and had such a great message. At the end when we sang the camp theme song "Do you Believe" everyone swayed together with arms intertwined and there wasn't a dry eye in the place. It was truly a great experience and I'm so glad I was able to be there for it! The Lord was watching over us, because the rain then stopped and we were able to hold our testimony meeting around the camp fire. I love this part of Girl's camp because the Spirit is so strong and every one's hearts are opened and filled. Needless to say we left on our trek home quite late and didn't get home until around 2:00 in the morning. Which put me about 3 hours away from being up for 24 straight hours. It was exhausting but so worth it!!
