Last week, I was able to finally go to stake young women's camp! I have put in 11 long months of planning and preparing for this one week this year! I have to say, I am pretty proud of myself for pulling it off (although, I wouldn't have even come close without the help of all my wonderful stake leaders and assistant!!!) It's amazing how much I have learned about myself and others in the 5 days I was there. I realized that I cry way too much... that I am strong, just not in the ways I thought... that I have little self-confidence (although I knew that already)... and that I can do anything with the help of wonderful leaders and most importantly, the Lord.
This adventure was a huge undertaking, and I commend ANYONE who has walked in my shoes in years past! This is a stress-filled calling and assignment, but I am finding the joy in serving the Lord in this capacity. I came into this thinking, 'I've got this all under control'... boy was I wrong! Lot's of mental notes were taken, realizations were realized, and disappointments were seen. Overall, though, it was a great time. I really feel the Young Women had a good time - at least I hope they did - and our last day with Testimony meeting came wonderful testimonies born.
I am very tired. I am very done with camp for a little bit, but I'll be back... unless they release me, I'll be back :)
