i have no idea where to start. it was deffentaly NOT what i expected at all. not even close. my counselor this year was RAZZLE. she was so awesome i love her so very much. i honestly don't even know what to say. The theme this year is " Through Christ I Can " and what they taught on it was just so amazing! I'm so sad that this was my last year at Oakcrest. but i have a way cool story about something that happened. ill tell it at the end. Well.....it was deffentaly NOT like last year at all. first of all, my group didn't exactly get along this year. by the second day there was so much tension. and my counselor realized this and decided to talk to us about it. and she told us like how everything we say will end up back to the lord. well that night someone in my group said we should go around the room and say what bothers us about eachother to just get it out of the way. and i went first and all i said is i felt left out ( cause my friend didn't come with me which is another long story that i dont feel like telling right now ) and i felt like they didn't like me. and after that point it went down hill. no one had anything negative to say to anyone but me. they all picked on me. they singled me out and were saying how i talk to much and how i have way to much energy. and it just really hurt my feelings. and on the third day on the overnighter i started crying so hard. and my counselor pulled me aside to talk to me. and she said some things that really helped me a lot. and after that i didn't care what they had to say about me. i loved my counselor though. everything she said helped me out soooo much!!! im going to miss her ever so much. but ill be seeing her in a month at pickles farwell which is even sadder to think about! not even kidding. I'm going to cry forever when pickles leaves! MY OLDER SISTER!! oh so just so you guys know im tottally not mad at her anymore for not writting me in forever because i love her way to much to ever be. anyway, my theme for oakcrest my week was Christmas! and it was awesome. i just love this church so much. you guys, i honestly can not tell you how awesome that place is. its my heaven on earth. and im sooooo beyhond sad that it was my last year. but something really cool happened!!! LIKE REALLY COOL!!! last sunday right before oakcrest a stake leader calls me and tells me my friend cant go to oakcrest ( long story ill tell you after this one ) so she asks if i wanted to be put in another group. and i said no because they pray for us and everything on what group i should go into. and she thought that was really cool of me. anyway so the stake comes up on thursday and im talking to that lady again cause she wanted to see how it went. well i told her the truth and everything and how i got my group for my counselor. and not the girls. anyway she told me she told my story to some other lady in the stake. and EVERYONE knows i want to work at oakcrest next summer. so she told this lady my story. and im like ok?? well this lady is the person who interviews the oakcrest counselors and decides who get the job and everything. and i was like oh thats cool. well after she told her my story this lady was so touched she said that i can come in anytime for an interview for next year!! HOW COOL IS THAT!
so i might be working there next summer! how awesome would that be? anyway. i really can not tell you guys how amazing it was. even though my group hated me. thats ok!!!! i still had fun getting in a pudding fight with my counselor! oh man i miss that place! i miss everything about it!!!
anyway the story with the girl that was suppose to go with me is this. she umm, went with me last year and sign ups are in feb, so when sign ups came around i asked her if she would like to go with me. and she said sure. so we signed up together. well a week before we leave she tells me she cant go! and i asked why. and i guess she had family coming or something. anyway i asked her how long she knew this. she's know this all along. ever since we signed up. she never planned on going. she only signed up with me to make me happy KNOWING SHE WOULD NEVER GO!! what really is getting to me is she shouldnt have signed up! i could of singed up with someone else so i wouldn't be alone! so i would of had a friend! but whatever. i still had a great time!! i love you guys.
OAKCREST IS MY HEAVEN ON EARTH!!! i miss it soooo much!!!
