For me, the big pay-off at camp is the testimony meeting at the end where you get to hear sincerely sweet and genuinely ginger words of faith and truth from girls who are just beginning to realize the beginning of their potential.
I have always liked adults more than people my own age. I have always preferred to hang out with my mom's friends and my friends' moms. As I get older I find more acceptance from this group of people, and I found myself more socially content last week than at any other time in my life. I met some of the greatest ladies, and was reminded of just how great the other ones are. How could I leave this place? I would like to come back one day and stay for keeps. then I could spend the rest of my life playing skip-bo with Lissa, Lezlie and Amber, spoons with Kristi, Wendy, Susan, Nancy, Leslie and Amy, and be owned at ooga booga by the ever-amazing Trina to the double-B. This is a naive dream, as change is an inevitable feature of life. So, to ensure bliss past this evening I suppose I will embrace change and cherish the women I met, the girls I helped, and the sleep I didn't get.
Have you ever been sad at yourself? Like, big time sad at yourself? Well I made a big mistake and I want to make it right. I will go to the mattresses if I have to!!! my eternal happiness depends on it. It involves a boy if you know what I mean. And when I say a boy I mean the boy. Friday Night at camp most of the cabin leaders put our girls to bed at lights out and had our own little party. We stayed up until 3 in the morning playing games, chatting, and laughing. As the bedtime story I told them about my long lost love-gone-wrong and I can assure you that they are helping me fight this tooth and nail. let me know if you would also like to be added to the LTEC update e-mail list.
Speaking of that, yes I am still preparing for a mission. I will leave in January at the soonest, but most likely in April/May.
I need help. What should I be when I grow up? Could you please tell me your opinion? I would love it.

we're going to leave on our missions at the same time! i can't wait!!!
I'm glad I'm not the only one pining just a little bit for all the fun of last week! You know, if you leave in January, we'll only have to endure one year of GC without you, instead of two.
I'm still giggling over your "under the covnenant" version of the LT letter.
Chaela you ROCK!! I had such a great time with you and can't wait to play some more skip-bo. I didn't know you are going on a mission...we'll miss you next year, but you're making an excellent choice. Keep the skip-bo fire burning.
I would like to be added to the LTEC mailing list. and I still need the rest of that story and I have to tell you my story.
hey thank you for your elissa-comments, she is going to die when she gets your letter!
