Return to Virtue

This week i went to girls camp with the other girls in my stake. I had a very fun time camping in tents at the El Captain Beach. The theme was return to virtue which was a very good thing to learn more about because its not so often you could ask random people at school and have them know exactly what virtue is all about. Virtue is not only about being chase but also being righteous, motherly, friendly, and having a good attitude such as not being sarcastic or bitter toward things like camping in tents when we normally camp in cabins... Big Change! But all in all the stake and ward leaders did an amazing job at putting it all together. I had a great time being a youth leader (one of the older girls who teaches the younger girls the certification they need to know to be "successful campers" in all the times they will have to survive on their own out in the wilderness) and making a few new friends from other wards that go to different schools that i normally wouldn't get to know! The crafts were fun also, making homemade magnet boards and necklaces out of washers. It was chilly through the day and at night but it was fun to get to bundle up in sweats which usually isn't possible during summer in sunny California! It was a success all in all and i am so glad i went!
