Girls Camp

We just got back from girls camp and I had so much fun. We went up by Black River this year so we could fish and walk around in the water. The laurels made a kind of pool thing by sort of making a dam. It came up to my waste and there were quite a lot of fish in it. It was so pretty up there even though there were so many bugs. At night we split into groups for about 10 minutes to go read scriptures. The laurels were the "leaders". I went with Lindsey LeFevre and Susan. I don't know Susan's last name haha. But Lindsey challenged us to go find a quiet spot during our free time and read for a little while so I went down by the river and read in Alma. I had a really cool spot because I found this rock in the river and it was a pretty big rock so I walked through the water to it. I sat down on that rock and let my feet lay in the water. I felt really peaceful.I thought it was so funny because I read the lesson we had last Sunday about Nehor and Gideon. I understood the story and lesson a lot more after I actually read it in my scriptures. Later last night we did something called singing trees. That's where you go into groups and choose two hymns to sing. Then every group finds their own tree and stands around it. You turn off your flash lights and the group who is singing turns theirs on and shines them up the tree. Then you sing your hymns. It was really cool and I could really feel the spirit. We had three non-members come this year and I hope they enjoyed it. I do have some pictures below and I know I'm not in any of them but thats because I looked horrible so I didn't post those ones. =]
