During a week of our last month in Taiwan, we took a mini vacation down to the southern point of the island and stopped for one hot, muggy day at this amusement park. I can't remember where it even was or what it was called, but will post some pictures of our day there. The place was practically empty and there was hardly any waiting time for the rides. The only drawback for me was that I was just barely pregnant and didn't get to ride on ANYTHING, and was taking all kinds of pills that made me drowsy to help me STAY pregnant, and it was super sticky and moist in the air. Most of my pictures have a humid look to them. Regardless, it was a fun day, and our first vacation with our new daughter. Enjoy! I'll try to get more vacation pictures posted later this week to try to catch up the months that I wasn't blogging.
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
