I can't believe it is finally over. It is so bittersweet. I get my time back to devote to my kids and family again, but I will likely not work with these amazing sisters and young women again! They truly built me up and shared their hearts and soul with me (along with blood, sweat, and tears!) Camp was only 3 days, but our girls accomplished a lot in that short time. It was amazing to watch these 16-17 year olds serve and grow to love the younger girls. My life has been blessed through this calling and I am so grateful they asked me to do it. I LOVE the young women in the church and I hope that I inspire them to find their own testimonies and grow in the gospel as my own leaders did 10+ years ago.
There was a moment when they almost decided to not let me go after finding out that I was pregnant. I assured them that it was nothing to worry about, and my directors pleaded on my behalf to let me see it through. So Sister Fish with her cute prego belly and pigtail braids bounced around camp like one of the girls and joined in on all the fun! I even snuck a hike in there, too!! Shhhh! I wasn't supposed to, but I can't help it when the trees and birds are begging me to explore!
