Girls Camp!!
I just got back from girls camp and I must say that all my expectations for girls camp were completely surpassed! It was the most amazing week! My testimony grew so much more and was validated by the experiences that I had. When we arrived Tuesday we set up camp and then just spent time with our level girls. We also did a confidence course and the waterfront. It was such a beautiful day! That night we roasted smores and talked around the campfire. I ended up eating to many smores and that resulting in me having a night terror. I thought an ax murdered had entered our cabin and was coming towards me. I let out a bloody murder type scream (waking everyone in my cabin up). I started to crawl towards the window to try to escape. I started to cry because I thought my life was coming to an end! Tracy and Megan shined their flashlights on me trying to figure out what was going on. Meanwhile, the girls upstairs had no clue what was going on. Kamee was screaming WHAT IS GOING ON!?! She felt the need to pull out her pocket knife. Tracy was screaming my name trying to get me to wake up. I finally came to and realized it was all a nightmare. I was sweating so bad and breathing heavy, I felt so embarrassed I started to cry again. I apologized to everyone and then the cabin went silent again. I laid there trying to calm my racing mind down and decided to say a prayer to comfort me enough to fall back asleep. I remember wishing that Devin was there to hold me. It took me about an hour to get back to sleep but I definitely learned my lesson not to eat sweets before bed!
Wednesday we prepared to go on our hike. We originally weren't planning on going with priesthood leaders because we weren't aware that we had to have one with us. President Peyton I guess felt inspired to come and talk to us because he came and told us that we needed to have a priesthood holder with us. We started out on our hike and got to the sound of music pasture. I handed out letters from home to all the girls and they all dispersed to a personal spot to have personal time. Megan Carter went up the hill a ways and sat on a log. I heard say my name panicked, I asked her what was wrong. She said I just sat on a beehive. She had been stung. With me being deathly allergic to bee's I was scared for the worst case scenario. We were on a mountain with no hospital closer than 30 min. She said she was alright and I looked at the wound and it looked normal. Then, she said her throat was going numb so I panicked and found the priesthood holders and asked if they could give her a blessing. They said absolutely! After the blessing Rand Erickson and I took Megan back down to camp to try and find the nurse. Emily Scoffield had some Benadryl so we gave her two. We figured that would help until we got to the hospital. She ended up calming down a lot by the time we reached the hospital. The doctors did say that she had an acute allergic reaction so she will need to carry benadryl with her. Afterward we stopped at TeCe's and got shakes!! Yum!!
