Well we had actually planned on packing up and leaving camp last night, but just couldn't bring ourselves to leave. We decided to stay another day. We could have stayed even longer if the babies hadn't run out of diapers! It was the deciding factor for our departure time!
We love the Olsen's! They are so fun to camp with! Laura and Nathan both come from survivalist families and are so talented and skilled in the outdoors. It's simply the best to share a campsite with others who love the outdoors as much as we. They are all such great people and dear friends.
After cleaning and packing everything up, we gathered for a little Sunday Service. Nathan and Geoff read to us out of the Book of Mormon from Mormon chapter 9. Nathan asked, "have miracles ceased today?" Moroni reminds us that the greatest miracle is the redemption of mankind through Jesus Christ. Thus, with faith, we are witness to daily miracles! This was such a sweet testimony meeting where the spirit was felt strongly.
Just as we were about to get into our cars to leave, Nathan and Geoff spotted a HUGE fish in the creek. We all ran over and watched as Geoff with his net and Nathan with his shovel tried to stun and catch the fish. We all laughed our heads of as they scrambled through the creek determined to catch that darn fish. You would have thought Nathan had been with out food for days, the way he was smacking that shovel around in the water.
Needless to say, they caught the fish. We unpacked all the cooking gear and had the most perfect feast! It was so exciting and satisfying to eat that yummy brook trout. We couldn't have concluded our camping experience any better. Speaking of miracles!!!!
