"Got It's" vs. "Angels"

And the winner is......."Got-It's!!" If we're being honest though.....it was a close game! For our activity last night, Sis. Sessions made a list of questions pertaining to Personal Progress. The girls were divided up into two groups.....those that had their medallions and those still working towards it. As the questions were asked, whatever team answered correctly first....got the point! We played that for a few minutes and then had "Chat" time. We all just sat around enjoying one another's company. It was a fun night! Great job to both teams for a game well played!Reciting the theme in hopes of another point!! Which was done flawlessly, might we add!

Yes....there were more than 3 questions....just never got a shot of the final score! :)

Thanks to all who came! It was a fun night!

Swim - Snack - Sit

FINALLY we were able to swim this summer! Each time we've planned a swim activity....the heavens have opened up and changed our minds! Tonight we had a fun time swimming, playing, snacking and chatting! Thanks so much to the Gardner's for their generosity in letting us use their pool! We had a blast!

"When ye are in the service of your fellow beings.....Ye are only in the Service of your God."

Last night was incredible! For our Combined YM/YW activity, we had planned to go ice blocking over at the High School. We got word that a family in our ward was in need of some help with their yard, due to the Mom having a broken foot. The decision was made to take all of the youth to their home and provide some service and help where they could. It was awesome to see that not one of them complained at the canceled activity swapped for service! Our youth are amazing.....truly! Everyone pitched in and got the job done in just about an hour! The yard was so full of weeds, and looked beautiful by the time we left! The family was so grateful for the help and the kids learned how good it feels to serve! A few of them even commented about how good it felt and how much they love to serve!......and it helped that there were ice cream sandwiches to finish off the night!
