The Best Summer One D Ever Had
This summer I had the opportunity to work at as a counselor at
Oakcrest which is an
LDS girls camp. I spent 11 weeks in Kamas, UT. I took care of 8-14--I know that sounds like a lot and it was a lot some weeks--13 and 14 year old girls. And for those 11 weeks my name was One D. It was the hardest but most rewarding experience I have ever had.
I love these ladies so much!
Sometimes we make it a competition to see who can lick the most elbows...
Sometimes you win Camp Clue... And it makes playing Camp Clue actually worth it haha
Or you take cute pictures on the slides
Or you brush your teeth with ash
And get all foamy from the foam slide.
You also get a lot of love smashes
And you get to hold butterflies
And you try to fit as many people as you can on the slides.
Sometimes you even find the D-Ship sleeping in the middle of the day
And you dress up like the Grinch with all your Cindy Lou Whos and Max
And you hike all the way to Lonely Tree on the mountain top. And then you sign it.
It was seriously the best.
I definitely had my best weeks and my worst weeks. But I know that I was there for a purpose. I definitely learned a lot about myself. I learned that I can do hard things. I learned that I really am not supposed to go on a mission. I learned that my Father in Heaven loves me very much and that He is very aware of me, my wants and my needs. And I hope one day that I will get to return to that fantastic place and do more marvelous work there.
