Volleyball, volleyball, volleyball

Seeing as volleyball started a couple of weeks ago, we decided to practice for our activity this week and to plan some of our personal progress while we were at it! The YM joined us - after playing, we had popcicles, talked, and headed home!

Cards and Treats.....

Our activity this week was great! We decided to make treats and cards for girls in the ward that we have missed seeing at our activities!!

The girls split up into two different groups:

One group helped in the kitchen making the yummiest treat ever!

They melted white chocolate chips and poured it over

popped popcorn, then spread it out on wax paper to cool. Then they

put the treat into bags, tied them with a ribbon and

sent them to the card room........

This group was in charge of making some cards to put with the treat!

The cricut machine came in handy as they cut out things like:

"We Miss You", and "Thinking of You". The cards turned out

D-A-R-L-I-N-G!

The night ended with the girls splitting up and delivering them! Thanks for

all that came and made this a great service activity! Love ya!

Hard work pays off.....!!

Hi Ladies! I sure missed not being with you last night! VERY weird being home on a Wednesday night! Didn't want to pass a bug....so I sat that one out! Missed you and Love you! Just wanted to share with you how AWESOME our Stake Parade float turned out! Don't know how many of you actually got to see the final thing, but had to show you how all the work you did paid off! Sis. Hadley asked Ty to sit on it for the "Peach Day's" parade last Saturday, so I took some pics! It is AMAZING!! "Peach Days" parade Committee gave it FIRST PLACE for the parade.....there were over 150 float entries! Fun, huh?! Take a look!

Mia Maid/Teacher - Laurel/Priest Activity!

So sorry this is a few days behind......
FOOTBALL SEASON, ya know? :)

Very awesome activity this week. Sis. Lindsey had a wonderful idea to have the Mia Maids/Teachers write their testimonies in Books of Mormon and then give them to the Sister Missionaries serving in our area to hand out to investigators! Due to the fact that the Priests hadn't had a planning meeting yet to plan an activity with the Laurels.....Sis. Lindsey was kind enough to let everyone get involved! The Sisters loved the idea so much, they donated a box of books for us to use! There were even enough for all of the leaders to share their testimonies! Each of us also highlighted our favorite scripture and also Moroni's Promise (Moroni 10:3-5). Afterwards, we realized there were still some extras, so we delivered them to the Beehive activity so they would have the opportunity as well. Awesome!!Afterwards, we headed over to Sis. Lindsey's house to chat and make smores around her incredible firepit! Great night and wonderful experience! Thanks Sis. Lindsey for your inspiration and hospitality! :)

Beehive Activity...Making fresh salsa!!!

YUMMY! We got together at Sister Rodgers' house and made some fresh salsa! The girls will be adding the recipes to their ever-growing recipe book! Most of the ingredients came from Sister McDougal's garden, too! We all took turns using the amazing food chopper, which is a great way to vent your frustrations, we decided! We made two different kinds and sat back and enjoyed ourselves! The night ended with us writing our testimonies in some Books of Mormon to give back to the sister missionaires. What a great ending to our activity!


Yes, it was as delicious as it looked!

Love your silly faces, Alyssa!!

Hailee and Lisa chopping some cilantro!!!

Sarah, Morgan and Sister McDougal eating, chopping and having a great time!! Yay!

Back to School Barbeque

For our combined YM/YW activity this week, the Young Men were in charge and they planned an awesome barbeque. We had really great food, volleyball, and some off the wall stretchy band game that Bro. Rhodes brought, that can only be related to the "Scrambler" at Lagoon! It was so fun, the kids had a blast with it.....along with a couple of leaders!!! The night was spent talking, laughing and just having a fun time! So many of the Youth brought friends with them last night, to share the gospel with. It turned out wonderful! Thanks Watt's family for letting us completely invade your home! Great Activity!
