Dave's Missionary Farewell

I really needed the spiritual strength this trip gave me.  When I came home, my family was a mess.  So grateful I had this experience to remember and crawl back into when I needed to feel some happy.

ahhhhh.

This year at camp was really fun, and eye-opening - I began to notice the difference between the other girls who brought all their hair stuff and makeup and cute clothes to camp (check the polo shirts under the camp t-shirts) and me, who couldn't care less.
