YASE!!!

So this past week I spent the most amazing, influential, awesome 5 days with some of the most AMAZING people I will ever meet in my life! Young Ambassadors and all the campers!
The week started out kind of "rough" so to speak. I went to YASE knowing absolutly no body and didn't have the best audition because, yet again, I was lacking confidence! To be honest I had no idea what I was getting myself into.. If any of you know me you know that I hace been an "inactive member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints" Well needless to say that the amazing spirit and the amazing people that I felt and met this past week have changed my life for good.
This whole experience was a whirl wind of emotion, physical activity, crazy fun, and girls:) haha
My counselors' name was Scott, if you don't know Scott he is just absolutly AMAZING! Spiritually he can lift up a whole camp, and with his voice he can belt like no other! I just love this man! If it weren't for Scott I would have been lost both physically and spiritually this whole week. Every night I looked forward to the "Devo" he gave and the nights we didn't get one just weren't the same! He really has been a great influence in my life. Thank you!
Leslie! Oh my goodness Leslie! I just love her too! Tuesday night I sang my solo in the showcase and I came out of it feeling a little down that I didn't do as good as I would have liked! So I walked outside and she just looked and me and said the nicest things and I was lifted up so high! That whole week "lolipop Leslie" guided me through the crazy schedule and was such an amazing FRIEND to me. Not only is she just absolutly GORGEOUS she is kind and smart and funny:)
I had an amazing experience with one of the girl campers down there. NO! I am not talking about "I got her number" or "She is my eternal lover" but like this girl I got to talking to one night and pretty soon we both had our life stories layed out on the table and I found out that my life may suck at times but there are plenty of people just like me. She knows who she is if she is reading this. Thank you. You are a beautiful, talented girl that will change the world one day just like you changed me.
Thank you to Heather, Madi, Hannah, Chandler, Quitin, Dallen, Brenner, Calleb, Alana, Rick, Alan, Randy Boothe, Todd, Summarisa, DASHA, Abe, Taylor, Megan and all the other amazing friends I met! I just love you all. I owe you all so much for changing my attitude about life and the church.
For any of you who don't know what YASE is; look into it. Young Ambassadors Singing Entertainers.
Thank you.
