when we made this huge decision to leave our condo in daybreak to move in with my parents the one thing on my list of con's was that i would leave the founders park ward and my calling as camp director.
as lame as it sounds, i aspire to be camp director.
we had only been in the fox pointe for about two weeks when i got called to meet with brother hills. we went in and i was so worried. we were headed to the temple and i just was scared that i'd get called to be a primary teacher. it's just my biggest worry of all time. especially after subbing in primary as chorister for two weeks.
well. the lord knows me. the lord loves me. and he called me to be the second counselor in the yw presidency. i was thrilled. because i love the fox pointe. i love the young women's program. and most of all i love the young women. i found out later that kaylie had been called as the first counselor and jules was secretary. my life was made in an instant. it is one of the things that got me through the six months living with my mom and dad. it kept me close to the savior and it kept us going to that ward instead of traveling around.
camp was just two and a half weeks after we moved, but kay moved to cedar anyway. so there was no excuse for not driving up and picking up my fav gal. we made it by tuesday night and unloaded. i caught up with my parents who begged me to bring the kids and got ready for a busy and fun week at camp.
being at camp and not the director was a very different experience. i loved it. i loved not really having anything to do but dance and sing and chat with the girls. i didn't mind cleaning the bathrooms or doing the dishes. it was really just the best time with the best leaders and the craziest young women.
i love the smell of the campfire, the feel of the tents, the sound of the gravel. it is so nostalgic and the place i like being most in the world. i decided i think i actually like camping more than i like hotel rooms. which is a big deal if you know how much i love vacations.
the highlight for me was just laughing the whole week. being terrible on the zip line. my testimony is strengthened by these youth and leaders who are so committed to the savior. i hope that being around the youth helps me to be more like christ.
