If you build it, they will come!

Girls Camp 2011 has come and gone again. This year, this was our theme...


I am the Brandon Stake Girls Camp Director. I absolutely LOVE my calling. It allows me to work with some really amazing women and spend a week with some super great young women.  I feel so blessed to be trusted by the Lord to help spiritual mold his children. We spend a week with the girls doing spiritually fun stuff.

This year for the YCL's, I thought it would be a great experience to take them on an airboat ride. The girls had some much fun and really got to see just how beautiful Florida's nature is. 



One of our activities was to build a cake based on a story from the Old Testament. The cakes turned out so good. Here is a picture of 3 of the cakes.

Noah's Ark , Jonah and the Whale & The Garden of Eden

The girls are also given the opportunity to get on the shooting range. Wow can some of the girls shoot! I am so impressed. We talk about protection, not only from a physical stand point but from a spiritual side as well. Thanks to Justin, my father-in-law Bob, and Al Russo for always helping with this activity. It is a highlight of the week.


For our service project, we built this...





On the last night of camp, this is what I got out of the shower to find.... my bunk had been attached by caution tape!


Here is a picture of the entire group! I am so lucky to get to know all of our Stakes Young Women! I just love them!
