Potguts and Stinging Nettle

This has been quite the week. The group is a pretty good group which is nice..most of them listen to me..something I have to enjoy while it lasts. But holy COW are they slow at getting places. Brandon always leads the front of the pack and I take the back. And usually the back arrives a minute or two after. But this week..no no. We arrive probably five minutes after. Today I was trying to take the back of the group back to the lawn to meet their families. They apparently wouldn't have it. One of the girls hurt her ankle so it took her forever to walk and she was limping. Then one of the crazy boys I was trying to keep track of runs out into the road and starts stabbing this dead roadkill ( a potgut I believe) with some iron rod he found who knows where. It was gross I can tell you that much. And he of course ignored me as I was screaming at him to leave the dead animal alone. Fun stuff. Then we were playing this game called Castle Camo today. You have to run and hide in this wooded ampitheatre area. I stalked up on bandaids and alchohol wipes because so many people last week fell and scraped themselves up. However this week it was my turn. As I was running, being my graceful self, I slipped and cut my finger on stinging nettle. It started swelling almost immediately. Man that stuff is lethal. Luckily it wears off in about 10-15 minutes but for that time period the itch is intense. Lets see...oh! I also was able to go to my grandparents this weekend. That was really fun. They babied me and took me out to Village Inn. It was a great way to recover from the flu. The only problem was that when they dropped me off at Aspen, they drove away and my phone went with them. I had forgotten it in the backseat. I figured I would be fine without it but it is hard to get a hold of people when you don't have a phone or numbers. But luckily my friend Jena :) drove me down to Provo and my Grandpa was wonderful enough to come bring it to us. So the phone's now back in buisness. One last thing. In church this week one of my friends that was supposed to teach the lesson got sick so I offered to teach for her. My lesson was supposed to be next week and thankfully I had prepared a lot of it. I had one hour to get it all ready to go. That was quite the experience. But I'm grateful for it now that it's over :) Over all I will be honest. Life is nuts right now. But I still have so much to be grateful and happy about and this is still a wonderful job. Yes. That's all.
