Living by Example

You never really realize how close you are to something until its staring you in the eye.

On February 21st of this year, I found out that I would be serving as a counselor at Camp Gilead. Now, nearly 4 months have gone by.. but I feel as though it were yesterday.

I couldn't be more excited to be a part of something like this! I dreamed of becoming a counselor. I loved going to camp when I was younger, I loved all of my counselors and I looked up to them in a lot of ways. I admired their perserverence, that even when they were exhausted and tuggered out, they kept smiling and had a great attitude about everything. They would put the campers' needs before their own. They were witty and humorous, were never boring or lazy. They found the time to get to know you personally, and to pray for your specific needs or worries. Their main goal was to glorify the Savior, and to serve Him in whatever ways they could. This is what I strive for. This is what I pray that my example will be this Summer.

Thanks to the counselors who gave me the example I need.
