Camp Week :)


 Incredible Busy week! So this Monday we drove to a Camp in Mississippi and worked on their trails. We cleaned, picked, and sawed trees down. Monday night we put tents up in a big field and slept in the tents we pitched. Tuesday morning we had some class and then we were on our way to Camp Lake Stephens. At Camp lake Stephens we were put to work on cleaning up a trail once again. Might I say that OUR TEAM MADE THAT PATH BEAUTIFUL! That day was the first physically challenging because we were hauling logs the size of me. It was a great team effort and it was a lot of hard work that was totally worth it. My first thought going to camps doing free labor, made me so happy. All the fun I have had at camp made me so happy to pay it forward. I hope all kids have as much fun as I did at all the camps I went to! Thanks Mom! We all went to bed and slept like bears, I didn't move a hand the whole night. I love physical labor it makes me so happy because I feel so good after wards. In the week we did a Ropes Course in Oxford, Mississippi home of Ole Miss. We saw Ole Miss and were super surprised on how beautiful it was. I have fallen in love with the south once again. So Friday we headed home back to Vicksburg and had a SLI meeting which is one of my positions in my group. SLI (Service Leadership Initiator) we are in charge of creating learning experiences based on our jobs, we make our group reflect. Friday night was an el Sombrero night, Pj and movie night. Saturday I went to the mall and got a haircut and color. Sunday went to my first Baptist service and had dinner with a Vicksburgian Margie. Had a great and tiring weekend!
