A little while ago we had an all-day Relief Society activity. We started out with some games and then had breakfast... there were little sausage sandwiches, cabbage-filled piroshkis (so good!), olive and cheese toothpicks, and plenty of juice.
We had some more games and activities, and then LUNCH. We ate salad, soup, and manti.
One of the activities before lunch was an activity we can do with our children for FHE. The activity was a lot of fun! It consisted of using a bag of gummy bears to re-create a scripture story.
These were the final products! They were pretty amazing!!! Can you guess which stories are depicted??
The days before the activity I committed to go, but was uncertain of how things would go with Addie. I kept having images of my toting around all day an increasingly unhappy Addie. I happened to forget one thing: half the time we're at church we don't even hold her ourselves! Plus, this child is amazingly social! She loved the activity!
After lunch there was another lesson and then the sisters split up to practice songs. Then we had the privilege of hearing from Elder and Sister Vincent. They are the senior missionary couple here from the States. They have been here a little more than a year and will depart in April. After their talks we had another "meal" of fruit, salad, and other leftovers. We then cleaned up the rooms we used and departed! It was about 5:30 p.m. when we got on the road. It was such a fun day!

Sounds like you had an awesome time. I'm so glad. Also, glad to hear Addie was cool with it. I'm surprised you were worried... her parents are social, why not her!?? :) Love yALL!!! ^_^
