I went into Girls Camp with a bad attitude because I didn't want to be there, so my first day was pretty miserable. On Wednesday ( that was the first day) I helped other girls set up their a-frame thinking that I would be sleeping in there, but they thought otherwise. So at like 7:30 I get told that there is no room for me and I have to go find another place to sleep, that really sucked because it was starting to get dark and I had no place to sleep. So I ended up sleeping in the other a-frame with other girls. That was an adventure within itself. I love them to death but I just wanted to leave. As we were sitting by the fire I wrote in my journal, and I quote, " I guess I am glad I am marring a man because I would never be able to deal with another person from the female species. Poor men. I honestly feel bad for men." I still feel this way about women, I don't know how men do it. Then I went to bed which took forever because the girls wanted to switch the way we were sleeping. So frustrating, and it made me want to go home even more. Thursday was way better . I decided that if I wanted to have fun, and I did, then I needed to change my attitude so that I would be capable of being happy. So I did just that, and it might have been the best day of camp. We started the day off with a hike through a mile and a half long train tunnel. It was so cool, and dark. I loved it. At one point we had to turn off all of our flashlights and it was so dark. You could feel the darkness surround you and it was scary. We talked about how the tunnel was like life. It was a good hike. After the tunnel we hiked down the mountain and saw like three waterfalls, big ones. I only almost fell down the mountain like three times. No big deal. I got to go riding and boy were the missionaries cute. It was a lot of fun and I wasn't shy at all, so the staff loved me. They offered me barrel racing lessons, and I really wanted them. The whole trail ride I talked to the wrangler who was riding behind me and she was super cool. then I went back to camp and tried to learn my lines for the skit. I hate lines so much. The skit ended up really good and I loved it. After skit night we went to bed. Thursday was crazy. It poured rain the whole day. We had a service project and we cleaned out pine needles and other sticks. Then rain started, and I don't think it has stopped yet. We got to chill in our camp sights for two and a half hours. I took a nap. Then I went and shot guns and bow and arrows and made bracelets and hair flowers and other things. Then I went back to camp and just chilled. Then there was a bear. Not kidding. It scared the crap out of me. We couldn't go to commitment night because of that darn bear, and it was still raining. Commitment night was awesome and we talked about how we were placed on this earth for a reason. It was so spiritual and I actually cried which never happens. I think that Satan really didn't want us to have commitment night. I mean he tried all that he could and we still happened to pull it off. It was a crazy good night. Then we had a testimony meeting that was really spiritual and was good. Today we came home and I was/am so glad that I am home. In the last week I have nly spent like 10 hours with my family. I missed them so much. SO know that you've read this book I have some pictures for you.
