Janika: Girls' Camp

Janika just got back from girls' camp!  They went to Jacob's Lake again (near the North Rim of the Grand Canyon).  She said this is the funnest one she has been to -- mostly because she was a 5th year this year and could hang with friends her own age.  But she said that when she had free time she hung out with her ward too and also made a big effort to be a positive examples to the younger girls. They heart attacked them and went about singing merrily about how fun it was to use porta potties and pick up trash.  She said it was cute because the younger girls really looked up to them.  Janika also had a solo in their musical program and said it went really well.  At one point in the program she was in a circle of girls and she had the only flashlight on and sang a little song (something along the lines of "This little light of mine") and then pretended to light the flashlight of the girl next to her and so on until the whole circle was lit up.  She shared some funny stories about duck faces, horny toads, and the priesthood leader who stole all the fifth year girls' sleeping bags with a ransom note saying they would be returned upon the receipt of a plate of cinnamon rolls...
