The Camp-in

Just this Wednesday, we had a Camp-out in the Saudi diamond Field. As soon as we get there, the sky is like the endless space. The stars are so many you can't count it with your bare hands. About 7:30 pm, we started to make a camp, we had a bonfire, the tents are all set up, then we had our dinner. Just about an hour, there is a Saudi guy, who he claims that he is lost, is interested with our place or something like that. Then he is like telling us in Arabic that to try his liquor he is drinking. Technically speaking, it is a Young men Activity. And we composed mostly of Mormon men there. After 30 minutes, even though I don't speak Arabic fluently or understand it, I seem to understand on what he is telling to his friends on the phone, that there are groups of people here, unaccompanied by an Arab. Then before he went away, he said that if we allowed them to masturbate in our camp, they will just pay us. At the very first time I saw that person, a strong feeling is telling that we have to get out of that place. Otherwise, we would be raped. At that very moment the guy go, I said to one of the leaders to pray. And after that prayer, one of the counsels that given to us by the bishop, to leave the place immediately. Just about 5 minutes, we're already out of the camp site we went into. After we arrived in Riyadh, I had this light feeling that really feels good, that we are driven into safety. After we arrived the villa where we have our church meetings and so. After we packed up, brought our sleeping bags, our pillows with us and our stuffs and food (This must not be ever forgotten!!!), we had another prayer. And after that, we had our sleep in which we slept 1:30 am. It took us about 1 hour and 30 minutes to go back to Riyadh. The morning after, we had our breakfast, rested and went home. And the camp-out turns out to be a camp-in
