Maddy and I had a great time at Girls Camp this year!! Our theme was, 'Like a Lighthouse'. Maddy got to go on her 3rd year overnight hike!! She was not very excited about staying out over night and not having a toilet to use, Oh and the hiking part, but she did it!!! I am so proud of her. She was faced with something she didn't really want to do, but she put her mind to it and had a great time. Maddy does want to point out that even though the hike wasn't that bad, but she doesn't want to do it again!!
I was so proud of those girls, as I am every time I see them walking back into came singing the Liahona song. They just put on those big packs and faithfully follow their leaders off into the mountains, knowing they will be protected by the priesthood who give up their time and come back dirty and with these huge smiles on their faces knowing they just accomplished something they were all doubting they had the strength to do. I love Girls Camp so much and am so grateful that my girls have the opportunity to go and grow not only as people but as Daughters of our Heavenly Father.
