I could rely on God at camp

Astrid

Last summer was the first time I was at camp without my sister or parents. I was nervous about being alone because I really did not know who was going be there, and I was not sure about whom I could turn to if I needed the kind of help that I usually get from my family. But I knew how I could pray to God.

I like horses, and I was enrolled in the horsemanship program. One of the things that I was looking forward to was a three-day camping trip on horseback. We would ride most of the day and would make camp in late afternoon and sleep under a tarp.

On the last day of the trip, we stopped on the trail, and I dismounted my horse to take a break. When I got back on my horse and was continuing on the trail, I realized that I did not know where my gloves were. I was worried that I had left them back where we had stopped, and there was no time to go back to look for them.
