Scripture Stories Activity

The girls really surprised me with their knowledge of the scriptures. They each talked about their favorite scripture and we looked a few of them up and read them from the scriptures. They all discussed what they knew from each story, and then we talked about how it shows us how to have faith in our Father in Heaven.

We then took a few minutes to update each of the girls "Faith in God" books. A few of the girls forgot to bring their book so you can mark off #6 in the Learning and Living the Gospel section. We also had a few of the girls pass off some of their Articles of Faith.

Our next activity is on the 8th of February. We will be doing a service project. It is a little later for the activity 6:30-7:30 and we are meeting at the church. The girls will be watching the younger kids from their families as well as a few other families in the ward so that the parents can go out for a quick Valentines treat.

Activities for 2012!!!

So today the girls and I got together to plan out their activities for approx the next 6 months. They had a lot of great ideas, and suggestions for activities.

If seems as though we have a bunch of lovers of the arts in the group. This last year they kept asking me to do an activity that would allow them to write, direct and star in a play. So I have given into their requests, and the girls are very excited to write a play, and perform it for all of you. This activity with take up a couple of our activity days so that they can write it, and rehearse it, and then perform it for you. It will pass off one of their goals which is to work on developing talents. I think it should be extremely fun, and entertaining to seem them at work, and I know they will have a blast performing it for you.

Check out the updated calendar. I do need all of the girls to bring their "Faith in God" books to the next activity so that I can update my spreadsheet to make sure all of the girls are where they should be. I love working with your girls, and can't wait to see what they come up with for their play!

PS: We want to wish Erica Newman a fond farewell as she moves onto Young Womens. She turns 12 on the 18th and will be missed, but I know she will excell in the Young Womens Program. Miss you Erica!!!

Next activity Wednesday the 28th

Sorry I had to cancel the last activity. I had my little brothers wedding that I didn't realize was on the same day until a few days before. Our next activity with be on Wednesday the 28th. All of the girls need to meet at the church kitchen at 4:30 to help prepare dinner for their parents, and the new activity days girls and their parents. We will have the parents and other guests arrive at 5:45 and do a quick orientation, and then the girls will get to serve dinner to all the guests. This activity is important! It will help them pass of one of their requirements. Call me if you have any questions.

PS I will be delivering invites to everyone in a few days.

New Pictures and an Update on Activities....

First off, Sorry to all you Moms that I may have confused. I am still getting used to this new calling, and I totally screwed up on the dates. For some reason I put the dates as everyother Wednesday on the calendar (Which works out most of the time, except for when there is a 5th Wednesday) I just realized my mistake, and have updated the calendar to reflect the right dates. Sorry again. We have been having activity days, I was just doing them everyother Wednesday. Now onto some pictures for the girls.

This was our service project a couple of weeks ago.

Then last week we talked about Family History

Sorry about the confusion. Just a recap Activity Days is on the 2nd and 4th Wednesday of each month. I'm a dork and screwed up.

Obstacle Course Activity

So we had our activity today, and talked about the importance of being active and excercising, then we did an obstacle course of different activities the girls can do to keep active. They had to ride through some cones with a wiggle car, then dribble a soccer ball through cones, jump rope 10 times, do 3 cartwheels or summersaults, and shoot a basketball through the hoop. We timed all of the girls and gave prizes to the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place. At the end we enjoyed some fruit. I think that the girls all enjoyed being active together. Check out the pictures!
The WINNERS!!! (The winning times were 1:14, 1:18.04, and 1:18.23)
Great Job Girls!

Prayer Rocks

Today we talked about daily prayer, and scripture study. Each of the girls got to decorate, and paint a prayer rock for their beds. They had lots of fun painting. Next Activity is the obstacle course, and healthy eating. This should be lots of fun! Hope to see you there.
