Young Womens

.........................
I'm Mia Maid advisor, and I have to say...I love my calling! It is so fun hanging out with these cute teenage girls...I don't know if I should be happy or worried that I fit in with 14 year olds so easily still:) But I've been the Mia Maids advisor for 3 years now and I still have fun going toilet papering with them, car dancing (I do that by myself anyways), looking at magazines and talking about the boys they like. The only thing I don't like anymore is Chinese fire drills...why do those never get old to teenagers? I swear they never get sick of doing them. I've been really busy with Young Womens stuff lately. I seriously had something every night of the week for like 9 or 10 days in a row. It's because we had our New Beginnings program we put on (that's our lovely backdrop we made of a castle for the play we did)
And also I've been busy planning Girls Camp which is coming up next week. I'm actually going to Girls Camp this year (June 18th) for the whole week with the girls. I'm really looking forward to it...but for all of you Bakersfield people...you won't believe the set up these girls get for camp. Apparently, we are going to a place with cabins, bathrooms, showers, a cafeteria (with a cooking staff who will cook all our meals), a pool with a lifeguard......Isn't that awesome? Before I knew where we were going I had asked at a camp meeting, "So how will the Latrine Duty rotation work with the girls?" Everyone's like, "What's a latrine?" What's a latrine???!! I mean, what a shame that these girls will be missing out on a good old fashioned latrine stirring experience:) (No one will believe me when I tell them that's what we had to do at our Girls Camp). So then my next question was, "What preventative measures should we take to make sure no girls get stampeded by cows?" Ok, I'm just kidding about asking these questions...but seriously, we have a lot better Girls Camp stories to tell then these young women can ever have. I'm sure you Bakersfield people are enjoying that one about the cows...don't ask me how I managed to almost get trampled by cows and then got the whole camp yelled at by our camp director. Anyways, I guess now I'll get the Girls Camp experience of laying out by a pool:)
