Here's my friend, Caroline, with her mom, Debbie, and her three kids, Max, Adam, and Olivia, celebrating Adam's birthday (riding Grammy piggyback) at the Main Event. Caroline has been through so much the past 21 months dealing with cancer and she's still going through chemo. I've talked about her to a lot of my family and have prayed for her for 21 months and want to show how beautiful she is and how blessed with an adorable family she is. Max and Christopher were in kindergarten together and it would be fun if they had the same third grade teacher. We'll know soon.
Hopefully this title, Book of Mormon Stories Pool Party , does not sound irreverent, because as an Activity Days leader, I felt compelled to come up with a fun end-of-the-summer event that is also uplifting, and after all, who doesn't love a splash in the pool on a hot day in August? My current church calling, or official role that I volunteer for, allows me to plan two activities each month for girls ages 8 to 11, that will encourage them to learn and live the gospel, serve others, and use the talents Heavenly Father has given them, to learn to do many good things. This year's seminary course of study for high school students is The Book of Mormon, and since I am a huge fan of this inspired book of scripture, I came up with this idea to have each girl show up to my house with a written summary of one of her favorite stories from within its many pages, and share it with the rest of the girls, while outside in our swimsuits near our backyard swimming pool! As each girl shares
