'You are second to none. You are daughters of God.'

'Each of us is a beloved spirit son or daughter of heavenly parents, and, as such, each has a divine nature and destiny' -Gordon B. Hinckley

On my spair time this summer I spent one week with super awesome young women from the age of 12-18! I never knew this would happen so soon, but I had the opportunity to serve as a Young Women's Camp Leader for my home ward. It was different being just a year or two older then the YCL's there at camp! When I first got to the camp site so many memories of my youth came running back into my head. But this year I had to put that behind me and think of the girls I was over. They needed me and in a way, I needed them. Throughout the week we had fun - playing games - dancing - swiming at the lake - making crafts - singing songs - canoeing for miles - cooking our own meanls every day - celebrating a Birthday -making a midnight shoping run to Wal-Mart.

It was about the second day at camp and I guess word had not gotten around the camp site that I was for a fact a leader.. not a young women! I was talking to another leader when she interrupted me and said, 'I'm so sorry, I thought you were a camper!' I just laughed. I told her that even though I'm only about a half an inch taller than the girls, I'm a YSA member, and I do have my own tent!

It was such a joy being with my two girls! I will never forget the fun we had eating ice cream at DQ plus having a Real Fruit Smoothie at McD's and the amazing spiritual time we had together on the canoe trip relating eveything we saw to our life and to the gospel. Then cooking togher and being able to learn together druing the mini classes. Knowing that each of us are loveable and capable. 'Be a women of Christ. Cherish your esteemed place in the sight of God. He needs you. This Church needs you. The world needs you. A woman's abiding trust in God and unfailing devotion to things of the Spirit have always been an anchor when the wind and the waves of life were fiercest.' -Jeffrey R. Holland
