So today started with flag ceremony (and all our amazing cheers), certification, singing, crafting, swimming, and pranking...all of which led us Sister Williams' workshop/devotional.
Sister Williams shared a wonderful devotional with us this morning about overcoming adversity. We watched stories about amazing people who have overcome great odds and Sister Williams shared a very personal story about the loss of her daughter.
She shared with us about the giant fork in heaven and hell (remember the difference?); the people who fed each other thrived while those who tried to feed themselves starved. So, remember:
We spent the afternoon swimming, crafting, singing and preparing for our musical presentation this evening. Excitement rippled throughout camp as President Bess, President Carroll, our bishops and their wives began arriving for our final dinner at Camp Happily Ever After. Following a fabulous meal and a few antics by our bishops as they competed in our Minute to Win It games, we were graced by a musical presentation that the young women worked hard all week to prepare. It featured music from the 2011 We Believe cd by Jenny Phillips as well as quotes from General Authorities and leaders of the church. It was wonderful. The spirit of the Lord was invited by the musical talent of all our young women and the testimony meeting that followed was strong. Nothing warms my heart more than to hear a young woman boldly stand and bear her testimony of the truthfulness of the Gospel and of God's love for her...these amazing girls are preparing to battle life and I think they are doing a great job. I feel privileged to have been in attendance.
