Eight girls ages 8-11, with each of their moms,
five leaders, and I went up the canyon to a cabin last night.
We ate the best tinfoil dinners I've ever eaten (add fresh green beans and beef and mushroom soup!), made bead bracelets, roasted caramel marshmallows for delicious s'mores, and sang very silly camp songs.
Since becoming primary president, I understand church leadership better.
None of us who serve (in any calling on up to the prophet) are power hungry.
We are called and we accept out of love for Heavenly Father and the people we serve.
We are given the opportunity to grow in sometimes very uncomfortable ways and also blessed in ways we couldn't imagine. Last night, spending time with these bright and loving people in this beautiful place was one of those blessings.
Cool. Bracelets!
