My new calling!

Two Sundays ago, I was called in to meet with the branch president and I was asked to serve as the First Counselor in the Young Women's Presidency! Of course, I said yes! I had only met these girls once, the Sunday before, but already felt a great love and connection to them, so I was delighted with my calling. Then the branch president proceeded to tell me that girls camp was that week and that the girls would be leaving on Tuesday. Smiling, he asked if I would be able to go. I laughed and then realized he was serious. So I said, well of course! Although I did miss Shanam, the girls and I had such a great time and it was a great bonding experience. The beautiful desert sunset on the drive down to Big Bend National Park.
This is 4 wards combined! 18 awesome girls!

On the hike up to the waterfall taking a little breather.


Cattail Falls. The girls had fun splashing and diving in the freezing spring water.




Erin and I, queens of the mountain!




These are my 5 girls! Ready to canoe down the Rio Grande!
