Welcome Sister Green

     We are so glad to have Sister Emily Squires Green helping.  She has lots of enthusiasm and fun ideas.  Check our calendar because we have some new activities planned. 
     In September we started working on some X-stitch projects. X-stitch is hard to learn and their have been a few frustrating moments but the girls are good sports and are really starting to get it. They are getting good and fast.   We will work on these when the girls first gather and if we have some extra time at the end.
     We also decided to change our meeting time to the 2nd and 4th Tuesday of the month.  We will meet from 3:45 until 4:45. I will plan on the girls finding their own way home unless you let us know.  We can usually give them a ride if they need it or they can stay and work on their handiwork for a little while.
     Plan on coming this Tuesday.  We will be learning how to frost cookies and decorate.

The Noah Room

Last time we wanted to get the creative juices flowing.  A good way to start was to go over to Sister Snyder's Noah room and look at her collection and all the ways people have thought to depict this story from the bible. Her collection is really fun to see.  We then worked on SO 3.  The girls chose a person they admire and listed their qualities. We had a discussion about respect and kindness and the girls who were here passed off this activity. 

Thank you Anna and Janette for sharing with us. 

Healthy Living

Lat Friday we talked with the girls about health.  We discussed how Section 89 has a lot of things very similar to the food pyramid put out by the government but it took the gov't. almost 200 years longer to figure it out.  They could pass off LL #6 if they held a family home evening reading D&C 89 and presenting it to the family. There is an image they can use at   http://personal.monm.edu/CJENSEN/New-Food-Pyramid-Large.jpg.
We also had a chance to play some crab soccer and regular soccer and a lot of going down the slide.  Say thank you to the Mowers for sharing their fun house with us.

Heart Attacks

     Sister Lee is amazing.  She came in and showed the girls how to dip and how to make the cards and within a half hour we had made all these great looking plates full of treats.  The girls made some good looking cookies. These cute girls are always fun to be with - so helpful and nice.  Unfortunately I forgot to get out the camera.  I snapped these with the phone but most of the girls had left to deliver the plates. Oh, well.
    I think they made some sisters in our ward feel special today.
    Don't forget we are meeting at the Mower's on Friday the 26th.

     We got together in January and planned out the next few months.  It is going to be fun! Our next activity is on Friday the 12th.It will be at Sister Holbrook's. Sis Lee is coming over to help us make some plates of goodies. We will then give some people heart attacks.  It should be good.
      Madison Lee will be our hostess during February. At the end of the month we will be meeting at the Mowers.  Please go in the garage and down the stairs to their gym room.  We will be having a short talk on healthy living and the word of wisdom and then will play some crab soccer.
     Last time we met we discussed photography with Sister Elwood.  If some of the girls have decided to develop this talent.  Let her pick out some of her faves and print them out (maybe even make a larger print) and share them with us sometime.
