July Activity: Temple Visitor Center

The Un-Talent Show

A combined girls activity: Lots of laughs topped off with cupcakes!

"Tonight's gonna be a good night!" And it was! 

The crowd joined in by singing and dancing along.

The nice judge, the crazy judge, and the mean judge.

"Do you have any lemonade?"

Little Red Riding Hood...only not so much!

"The Ugly Bug Ball."

Nice to have a helping hand, don't ya think?!

The Achievement Day girls did some fun skits
...but they moved so fast all the pictures were a blur.
Always remember the value of toilet paper!

Getting to Know You

Getting to Know You

An enjoyable evening spent getting to know each other a little more:

Guessing which pictures of the past matched which sister;

Comparing shoes;

Eating a delicious meal;

Switching tables according to M&M colors and asking each other various questions.

Working on our WOW (Word of Wisdom)

Working on our WOW (Word of Wisdom)

A very uplifting evening.

Sister Becky Adams shared thoughts on depression. She referenced Elder Holland's talk from the October 2013 General Conference and from her practice as a Family Practice Medical Doctor.

Elder Jeffrey R. Holland "Like a Broken Vessel."

We live in a fallen world and will be tested time and time again. Difficult times can trigger changes in the brain. There is no shame in this. Recognize it as a health issue. Talk with a friend, family member, a doctor. Watch your self-talk. Much of our self-talk is devastating. We would never say many of the things we say to ourselves to others. We fall into negative patterns. We need to be thoughtful of the way we think. Watch for stress indicators, make adjustments. Be willing to ask for and to give help. Show gratitude. If your condition is more debilitating--seek help!

We also tried a little yoga led by Angie (Becky's sister-in-law) and learned some good nutritional tips from Angie Kelley.
