Girls Camp and School (found it)

So i know its been what two weeks since i got back from camp? ok well im sorry been sorta busy with school starting right after.
So camp was good. Being a leader is important because you set the tone for the group you are over. There where two level two groups mine and Liz's and then the other one. The leaders in the other group where lazy and didn't really pay attention to their girls and where they needed to be or what they needed to be doing. They didn't care if they paid attention in classes or what ever. The tone with those girls was out of hand and they where everywhere causing issues only because the other leaders in camp kept getting them confused with our group and we got yelled at. The feel me and Liz wanted in our group was that we were all family and we wanted our girls to be close with each other. There was only one day that we could tell there was an issue in our group. We could feel the spirit wasn't with us anymore and we could tell exactly what girls where the cause of it. We had a talk with all the girls and that was the end of it in our group. This year was different the spirit was harder to feel in my opinion. Im not sure if it was me and where i am in my life right now or what but i was having a hard time trying to keep it with me to pass onto the girls. But surprisingly the times i felt it the strongest was because of our girls. There was one girl in our group who goes to church and isn't a member but she ended up being the best inspiration to me. She knows that the church is something good and that she wants it in her life. she loves how she feels from it and how she learns so much. She wants her family to be there for her and support her in her desires. She mentioned that Liz and i where like her mothers that she wishes she had. She came to us one day and asked to do a talk and we where so pleased. There is no way we could turn it down. She had questions everyday about the church and about how to feel the spirit and mentioned often that she could. She was so strong. the day we asked the girls to think of our group as a family she told her friends that she couldnt joke around with them the way they wanted because it would put someone down. She didn't know that i was there listening to her and i was so thankfull that a young girl like that can show such strength that i feel i lack in most situations. I know i can sometimes but i usually just leave and don't think to ask my friends to change something around me. There was one girl who was being left out in the group and one other girl kinda saw that and took the lead in being her friend and stepping in to include her into activities. I don't know if she was really thinking about what she was doing or if it came naturally. I know i don't do that hardly. I admired that. Then when it came time to do the skits everynight, it was very interesting as a leader to sit back and do nothin as the girls faught for control or to put a word in on the different ideas. They ended up working together on every one, and most of the skits turned out the best in camp as far as im concerned.
