IF YOU ARE STILL IN THE PROCESS OF RAISING CHILDREN, BE AWARE. THE TINY FINGERPRINTS THAT SHOW UP ON ALMOST EVERY NEWLY CLEANED SURFACE, THE TOYS SCATTERED AROUND THE HOUSE, THE PILES AND PILES OF LAUNDRY LYING AROUND TO BE TACKLED, WILL DISAPPEAR ALL TOO SOON. AND, YOU WILL, TO YOUR SURPRISE, MISS THEM PROFOUNDLY. THOMAS S. MONSON

Activity Days; Needing the Light

A few weeks ago at our Activity Day Girls activity, we learned how to, then prepared a nutritious meal for the elder missionaries. Then the elders taught a little lesson to the girls. It was the week before General Conference, and they were referring to the direction we would be given, but I think we can apply it to us everyday!

They gave the girls each 2 pieces of paper. The first piece of paper, was for a paper airplane.

They gave them specific instructions on how to make the airplane, and the girls listened very carefully, and followed them.



When they were through with the first one, the elders said, "Now, close your eyes, and make the same airplane with the other piece of paper".
The girls did the best they could. Of course it was more difficult doing it in the dark. Of course everything we do in life is easier when we have the Light of Christ. The missionaries are so awesome! We all loved the lesson.

The best part was flying the airplanes!!! These girls are such a BLAST! I love them to death!!!
