When we moved to Florida, Dave and I were immediately asked to help in
the church youth programs.
Dave has been helping the young men and scout troop, and I've been
involved with the young women and seminary. And if you know Mormons, and
teenagers, you know that means lots and LOTS of activities. I dropped scrapbooking
and updating my website for 2 years just to keep up.
Dave hasn't done a lot of woodworking. But boy do we have some good memories!
I tried to get a picture of everybody. Below are pics for about
1/10th of the youth activities. I can't write "an hundredth part" of the
things we did; there is not enough room on this webpage.
Unfortunately, I have almost no pictures of all the scout merit badge
nights, Frisbee football, and weekend campouts. But Dave did them all,
too.
Here
Mike Meade, Dave, and other boys wait for the next play at beach
football night. |

Me at Temple night. I'm holding the invitation I made for the young
women to marry in the temple. Several couples talked to them about being
married in the temple. |

Saturday morning. |

Sister Harreveld taught the girls how to walk like professional models
at our ward fashion show. We had a runway, lots of cheering, and the
girls looked great. We also had special fashion appearances by Sister
Lybbert and her 2 kids in Moroccan dress.
That's hot. |

Sister Phillips, the 2006 camp leader, looks like she's ready for
combat, but is just waiting for the end-of-hike water ambush. Don't be

A rare but important sighting of piggybacking Racoonus Loganalvanus.
Also note the Penstealera Dalus Meadus. Both usually come out at
night, and have wild tendencies to play frisbee football and be silly.
They both have been captured by the most unusual specimen of all:
Scoutmaster Regularus. |

Pizza and attitude from Brittany, Dedrea, and Rosie at Youth Conference,

Sibling night. The youth brought their siblings. I brought my neighbors
2 daughters. Here Dana trys to whisper the message without
giggling to Lexi in the telephone game. |

The early morning seminary students play "King" for scripture mastery,
fall 2006. Every student got a chance to compete at the top. They're
some pretty sharp kids. Seminary was a calling I hoped to avoid, like
RS president or bishop's wife. But after some reassurance from the Lord,
it became the funnest calling I've ever had. It took a lot of time, but
I got to use my creativity. And my 12 kids brought some good humor and
deep insight into the class...when they were awake. |
|
|
 |
|
We did a lot of fun object lessons for seminary.
Just for one example: the armor of God, D&C 27. Dave helped me make the arrow-through-the-head gag,
which, with the real body armor, and a lot of rubber bands (the fiery
darts of the adversary) made a strong point and a funny activity. |
