I love make-up. I'm not always the best when it comes to make-up application, but I keep trying to look for new ways to enhance my appearance by painting my face. I can't stand my red blotchy complexion usually, so I try to cover it up with a foundation to even it out with the rest of my face. Recently I got this new compact for bronzing, along with an awesome brush, and if you have seen me lately, you'll notice the tan on my face. That's right, just my face. I can't believe my friends haven't told me how terrible it looks. When I'm putting it on in the dark hallway in front of my black buffet, I look pretty darn good (in that light). But when I see pictures of myself, I want to cringe. I'm going to have to have someone confiscate it from me because it's fun to use, but if it looks as hideous in person as it does in the pictures, I'm going to have to chuck it.
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
