Power of God

This was an experience that happened to me while i was up at girls camp this summer.
I woke up early on june 30th, i woke up at 4:30 i had just gone to the bathroom then went back to bed, but i couldnt really go back to sleep which was terrible because i was about to be going for four days into the mountains where i wasnt going to get lots if sleep. I sat in bed til five A.M. when my alarm was set to go off, so i showered hoping that after i had showered i would feel better. The ashcrafts were coming to pick me up soon and i was really dbating on whether or not i should go up. I felt nauseous all morning. When they came to pick me up i decided i would just go, i knew i would be blessed. We went to go grab some breakfast at McDonald's isabelle told me just to order something even though i didnt feel hungry, i got it and never ate it because i just felt so sick. We got on the bus and I told isabelle i wanted to sit next to her, she saved me a seat next to her and next to the bathroom.  I never used the bathroom because i slept most of the time up to Camp Shalom. I woke up when there was about 20 more minutes to drive and this was the most miserable time, i felt really sick and light headed. When we got there we set our things up. I was still feeling sick but went to the stake morning devotional anyway. Sitting the whole time definitely didnt help as soon as we finished isabelle and i went to the bathroom where i threw up. After throwing up you always seem to feel a little better, i felt only slightly better. One of my leaders gave me her ice cold diet coke to drink and it helped for a little while. Still feeling sick and miserable my ward ate lunch and i wasnt able to eat anything because i just didnt feel hungry. I laid in my cot all day except when i got up to go to the bathroom, i missed several activities that i waa looking forward to. Sleeping was nice but i would've rather been able to be outside with all of the other girls. Dinner was approaching and i was just tired if feeling sick. I had several thoughts going through my head to ask my bishop for a priesthood blessing. Finally i got out of bed and Maya and Michela came with me to ask my sweet bishop for a blessing. Him and his counselor found a spot where they could do it, they sat me down and blessed the oil then started the blessing. Michela and maya were there watching and listening. The bishop told me i'd feel better and also have the desire to eat. As soon as he finished i stood up and felt so much better! I was so hungry. As the days went by i felt better everyday. And i was so glad i asked my bishop for thag blessing. I strengthened my testimony of the gospel and the power of the priesthood. The church is true go tell your friends
