Las Lomas Activity

Elder Walker and Elder Garcia along with Elder and Sister Johnson organzied a Las Lomas Branch Activity on Saturday, January 28, 2012. Elder Walker had a Book of Mormon for each family and challenged them to read as a family. He also showed a clip of Jeffery Holland talking about the importance of the Book of Mormom and his testimony. We didn't think many would show up for the activity, but, what a surprise. There were about 60 people in attendance this evening.

Sister Johnson was in charge of the games. Being involved with the Activity Committee for many years really paid off this evening. My theme was "Win It In A Minute'. Elder Walker and Elder Garcia were in competition and Elder Garcia won. Elder Walker was not going to give up.


Meet Evan, he is something else. He likes to go on splits with the Elders and has a darling personality. He showed the Elders how to stack the appleson his first try.

The youth and adults really got a 'kick' out participating and were very competitive.


Game number two was taking an Oreo- putting it on your forehead and working it down to your mouth. I have some of the funniest pictures. There's not enough room on this blog to post all of my pictures. Here are two of the winners.


Game three - Attach a Kleenex box to your hips with 8 small balls in the box. You have a minute to shake all the balls out of the box. Great - wild time watching them try to get the balls out of the box. Lots of great movements amongst the adults and children plus lots of laughter.


Last but not least, musical chairs. Children went first and then adults had their turn. Talk about competition, you had to be their to appreciate what I am talking about. Pretty intense game but everyone had a wonderful time.

After feeding the group Jamica (punch) and cookies, it was time to load up the truck and send everyone home. A lot piled into Erik's truck to head for their casas. A very successful evening because it far exceeded our expectations of the turn out. They are a great group of people to be around.
