It was good fortune that Girls Camp fell during Rob and Lynda's visit to Arkansas. Between 4 grandparents, my babies were so well cared for and I was able to drive 9 young women, including Reese up to girls came and spend the day there and run a service project.
I hate camping. But I LOVE girls camp! I would have spent the whole week there if it could have been logistically possible.
I went back up for the last night of camp and stayed from around 7pm until almost midnight. I love my calling in Young Women. I love just knowing and loving and serving these beautiful girls. I love talking to them about their lives and plans for the future. I love helping them work on personal progress.
I love being part of the sugar creek young women board.
During my day at camp, the first years came up with nicknames and I was given the title of MacGyver Meg. I wore it proudly after repairing a totally busted tent zipper, fixing the center support on an easy up tent, helping untie a brain scramble of cords, and finding a way to sew completed hats up without a yarn/craft needle. (Duct tape for the win!) it felt good to be handy. I like problem solving and when I'm not in a season of projects, I don't have many opportunities to troubleshoot. I loved putting on a MacGyver hat for the day.
I especially loved being at camp with my Reese. What a blessing to share camp with her! She had the best week of her life at camp and I was so happy for her, and grateful to be there to witness a few parts of it. Girls camp was definitely a "crossroads" testimony building week for her. She finished reading the Book of Mormon and shared her testimony for the first time at camp. She came home a girl on fire.
Here she is looking super cute in her tent that she shared with 3 of the finest young ladies I know: Finley and Delayney S, and Jill G. Love them! Love all of them!
