My husband and I laughed when we read about the stake president, the water gun and his comment what happens in camp says in camp.

It sounds like we do a lot of the same programs such as singing trees, bishop nights, etc. It sounds like you had a fabulous week! <BR/>I'm shocked of your calling change. You have not been in that long so I'm sure it was inspired that you are needed elsewhere. I know you will do great wherever you are serving.familywithfivekidshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05960806398989453178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21736266.post-14046518563990055092008-07-11T18:41:00.000-07:002008-07-11T18:41:00.000-07:00Sounds fun....sorry you were sick.

I don't understand why they would put you as a librarian with all of your talent but I guess sometimes we can't understand things at the time until later.

I'm sure the girls had an incredible time. So sorry about the girl who got hurt and you with cramps. Yuck!!! Sorry about being released and getting a new calling too. It's hard to adjust. I'm just hoping I don't have to anytime soon. LOL The Sally Walker with all the priesthood would have been hilarious to see!! My girls do that at dance competitions all the time, so I can only imagine how it goes with priesthood and YW leaders!

We were just moved to a new stake and they camp by levels and our girls were not happy about it before camp. I wonder how they feel about it now. I'll have to ask. <BR/>sorry that your calling change is sad for you. Maybe you just need a less labor-intensive calling for a while so you can take care of Jolene and her family. I'm getting a new calling soon as well. It's a more labor-intensive one and I'm wondering what I've gotten myself into!Kassiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00205977107298415198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21736266.post-39382873292289318672008-07-09T15:21:00.000-07:002008-07-09T15:21:00.000-07:00Wow...what a week!
