It was great to get home from camp and read your
letter. You are having some great
missionary stories. Keep up the great
work and you will continue to see miracles.
Me , Rachel, and Melissa had a good week at YW camp. The theme was “Arise and Shine forth that thy
light may be a standard to the nations”.
All the cabins were different nations.
I was in Switzerland with 1st years. Melissa was counselor for 3rd
years and their cabin was Japan- she had a lot of decorations and their cabin
looked great!
Rachel and the crazy KITS (counselors in training) were
Mexico.
It was a full 5 days of fun and spiritually full programs
and activities. We all came home very
tired. It rained hard on us 2 of the
days, but that didn’t seem to bother the girls.
We had to adapt some of the activities, but all went well. We had enough sun that my arms got red when I
was out at the fire pit for a cook out lunch and leading the “Great White War”
activity one afternoon during free time.
Rachel got her camp sweatshirt- her camp name is Crayola. They had a very nice description of her
telling of all her good and colorful talents and attributes. She is happy with her name.
Thursday the Bishoprics came up and we competed in some
games as a ward. We were one of the
smallest wards- only 12 of us this year. We got the award for the “wettest”.

Each ward did a skit. Requirements were that they needed to
contain a beach ball, tutu, a foreign accent, and the phrase ”arise and
shine”. Rachel put together our ward
skit: Beach ball Ballet. I liked the “swan” pose at the end the
best. Rachel was the class instructor,
and Megumi spoke with a aggy accent. It was well received. Here is a clip of the ending:
It was a great week, but I was happy to come home to my own
soft bed, and shower, and bathroom! Dad took us out to dinner, and we laid
around all day Saturday. I am still
tiered today.
It is 4th of July this week. Grandma B and Granddad are in Seaside and
will join us for the festivities- so I guess I will spend Monday getting all
our camp gear put away and cleaning up.
Hope you had a great week too.
Love you lots!
