It seems that Mutants have something in their lives
called gravy. They know truth, but it is buried
under thickening and spices of convenience, materialism,
insecurity, and fear. They also have something in their
lives called frosting. It seems to represent how they
spend almost all the seconds of their existence in
doing superficial, artificial, temporary, pleasant-tasting,
nice appearing projects and spend very few actual seconds
of their lives developing their eternal beingness.

What Girls Camp Taught Me!!
-Plan to have things go not as planned...and thats ok!!
-Have B. Kanenwisher on your team!!!
- The greater the number of sugary snacks the greater the contentment.
- Busy hands and busy bodies make for perfect camping activities
- Grown-ups need to be quiet...for the most part.
- Oreos with a familiar minty taste are to be avoided. gak...toothpaste
-Have B. Kanenwisher on your team!!
- Banana Boats are the perfect camping dessert!! Campfire+tinfoil+banana+ marshmallows + chocolate chips+ a few moments in the fire = perfection!!!
-Rain does not necessarily ruin a camping experience...see above note about B.Kanenwisher.
-Giggling ringing in the pines is a joyous thing.
-I love thunder and lightening storms!!
-Good, true friends dont grow on trees, but they do grow at girls camp!
- A 35below sleeping bag suits me just fine.
-A air mattress and a 3 inch thick piece of foam is gravy!!
-Campfires attract bugs!! who'd a thunk!!??
-Rain on a roof top is soothing...rain on a tent fly is disconcerting.
-Blue skies, towering white cumulus clouds, meadows with deer and yellow flowers...bliss!!!
-laughter is the best medicine.
-Getting "out of the world" and away from the worlds pressures and into the trees and fresh mountain air for a few days clears ones head, heart and soul. The important things in life become clearer!!
-Girls can shoot guns...darn well I might add.
-we can survive without cell phone coverage.
-differences can be embraced and cherished.
-We all can do hard things. Some of us just not as gracefully as others. *see future post on the "trust fall."
-16 girls and 5 leaders can easily FILL a 20 ft. flatbed trailer with STUFF! (and we didnt even have to haul up our food!!!)
-zip lining will never loose its thrill. 9this is the second longest line in Utah!)
-hiking at 8000 feet feels a little different than it does 'down here.' (I was sucking some air!)
-when in doubt, stay on the trail.
-have B.Kanenwisher on your team!!
-when you trust someone, you can do and accomplish most anything.
-porta potties are a blessing in the mountains.
-dirty fingernails are not the end of the world, they are a badge of honor! It says YOUR CAMPING!!
-The Gospel of Jesus Christ is true and these girls KNOW IT!! And they live it!!!

Love it! I'm going to have to go next year if you're still the president. Most of them aren't so open to tag-a-longs.
Way to go, President Cindy! Knew you'd love it... Love you for being such a good sport and example.
There's nothing like girls camp to bond young women and build testimonies. It sometimes wears off through the school year, that's why they make them go back every year!
Glad you had a good time.
I KNEW there would be a great post when you got back!! Hooray for sleeping bags, air mattresses, foam, and what sounds like a wonderful group of gals!!
