How cool was that!

Are you still buzzing about our activity on Tuesday night? I know I am! I couldn't believe how much laughter there was, and it was so wonderful to see all the smiling faces and happy sisters. For those who couldn't make it, you really missed out on a fantastic evening. We started off with an M&M game. We each chose several M&Ms, then had to answer get-to-know-you questions depending on what colour we held up. Once the question was answered, the M&M got eaten. You should've seen how fast our group whizzed around the questions so we could have more M&Ms! LOL - it was so hard case.

The second activity was a service swap. We randomly got given a sister's name and some info about them, and had to come up with a service that we would personally provide them within the next 3 months. It was completely up to the individual as to what that service would be. What a great way to get to know someone, and at the same time receive a blessing for providing an act of charity. We will get feedback on this activity at the Home, Family & Personal Enrichment Activity in November. I'm really excited to serve my nominated sister (though she may have second thoughts once she actually TASTES my baking! Hahaha).

The third activity was conducted like Speed Dating. The sisters were given a list of topics, and 60 seconds to ask/answer them with the person opposite. After 60 seconds they had to stop, move one seat to the right, then speak on the next topic on the list, with a new person. This continued on until you had spoken with everyone in the room. Now most of these questions were quite serious get-to-know-you questions, but you wouldn't have known from the laughter and hysterics echoing around the room. This was SUCH a fun activity, and you just KNOW every single sister came out of it knowing a whole bunch more about each person there. Here are a few photos from that activity:

The photos don't do it justice I assure you. After all that fun we followed up with a delicious supper, milo & marshmellows. Absolutely no good for anyone dieting, but hey everyone needs a sweet reward now and then don't you think? Thankyou to everyone for bringing along such tasty goods - I know next time not to have dinner first :D

We have more activities in the works, and will let you know of them very soon. Until then, keep the 2nd Tuesday night of every month free - that's our big activity night. We will have a variety of smaller daytime activity groups throughout the month as well - watch out for those details here and in next month's newsletter.
