JVK Camp 2008

Hey everybody!
Last week I was at JVK Camp (that is a camp for all of the missionary kids for our organization)! I had a lot of fun! Some of the things that we did are:

• SWAM!!!
• Learned about the Holy Spirit (kids ages 13-18 also learned about the Tabernacle)
• Did crafts
• Read the bible in our age groups (mine is AKIKO)
• Swung on a rope swing
• Played MAFIA! (only kids ages 13 and up+counselors)

The last day was one of the hardest last days I have ever had. We said goodbye to SO many of our good friends. It was a really hard thing to do. But one thing I realized through all of these goodbyes is that if we didn't love each other so much it wouldn't be so painful. And I decided that the love is so much more important to me even if it means that the pain sometimes comes. And that sometimes we need to have the pain so that we can realize how much we do love each other. And that we will still stay in contact with the people that are leaving because they where one of us. So it was a really good and sad day, but it has taught me a lot and I am happy I was there to experience it.

Summer

Oh my, I LOVE summer. For our family there is a lot of work to be done, but there is also a lot of time for play. This summer has been so much fun . The first big thing that I had was Junior High Camp which was a blast (pictures are still coming). I hung out with three girls who's names where Ana (Anna) , Tjaša (Tyasha) and Marija (Mary). I had SO much fun with them. That is really the main thing that all of our family has been a part of. Other things that our family has been doing is painting Kiley's room, just being toughether as a family, swimming (we have been doing a lot of that), Playing games and just relaxing.
