Today was the first day of school in our school district and we're all excited about the new school year. Our first pick for Christopher's teacher came through! Yippee! Out of the seven third grade teachers at his school, we had hoped for Mrs. Jordan, who Lindsey had in third grade. She is such a wonderful person and a fantastic teacher. She's very loving and delightful to be around, but she also is firm and has high expectations for her students.
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
