Abinadi and... Recycling!


We started the activity by remembering and discussing the story of Abinadi using pictures. I was impressed at how well the girls knew the story by heart!
After that we made paper! We wanted to follow up with our discussion last time about taking care of the Earth, and so we decided to make paper out of used paper that would be recycled. It was actually a bit complicated at first! There were many steps to follow, and we had to read the instructions carefully. It got easier with each piece of paper that we made, and the girls got faster and faster. I couldn't help but think about the connection between following instructions and taking steps to make paper, and following other instructions (the scriptures) and taking other steps (getting baptized, going through the temple, etc.) to make it back to our Heavenly Home.
What did you girls think of the activity?

Secret Service Follow-up

I think secret service projects were a complete success (at leased mine was). I made a cookie for my friend who only has 2 friends in the whole school. She didn't even think it was me! I will probably tell her it was me in 2 months or so but right now it's still a secret.

I was going to do a secret secret service but then my cousins from new Mexico came for the hole month so I'm deciding to do it this month!

We also made New Year's Resolutions to "seek after uplifting and good things" after reading and talking about the 13th Article of Faith.
