Waterpalooza was fun.  It was a fun activity that my school put on for all of the 8th graders.  First it started off with a bunch of games and you could earn candy if you won.  And then we had a bunch of snacks such as popcorn and pickles.  Next we had an option to play games, watch a movie, or design like a photo book or take pictures.  After that we had our water activity outside and we got our yearbooks.

EFY was fun.  Monday I met everybody in my company and we all became friends really fast.  Tuesday, I took as many different classes as I could and I decided that John West was the best speaker.  Wednesday is was raining and we had game night and pizza night.  Thursday we had to go around in our church clothes all day and it drizzled a little.  I also took part in the EFY gameshow.  And I loved the testimony meeting.  When I got home I found out that Grandpa died and I was sad.  The main reason I got over Grandpa's death is because two people there bore their testimonies about how their Grandpa had died and about the plan of salvation and that they would see their Grandpa's again.  And I know that I will be able to see Grandpa Felsch again.  Friday, was fun but we were all sad because we knew it was going to be one of the last times we would see each other.  But then, right before the variety show, one of them came up with the idea to start a Facebook page so we could all have contact with each other.  The Variety Show was fun and the dance was fun.  And then after the dance we saw the slide show and we all sang the EFY Medley for the last time.  I cried halfway through the song.  Saturday I woke up early so that way we could play games together one last time and then it was time to go home.  I had a great time and met a lot of new friends.  And all of the sudden I have like double the amount of friends I used to have.  And I had a great experience at EFY.

That night I went to the united Voices for Christ concert and it was fun playing the cello in it.

The next week I went to Scout Camp and I became SPO which stands for Senior Patrol Leader.  I saw a lot of old friends there and it was all good until Friday when my rocket from Space Exploration got stuck on top of OA Cliff.  And since it was the 4th of July and I'd already missed out on fireworks so I decided to come home and take a shower and wait for Mom and Dad to come home.  I got all of my Merit Badges except for one because the instructor showed up late.  

In the morning I was the last person awake and so I snuck downsairs and I could hear Emma singing to herself in the front two rooms.  And so I snuck up behind her and I said, "Hi, Emma" and then she said, "Hi Cameron."  And then she goes back to what she was doing and then all of the sudden she realized I'd been gone for most of two weeks and she screamed, "Cameron!" and gave me a big hug.

And I have decided to get my patriarchal blessing.
