The fabulous Niki suggested the theme for this year's stake activity day. She combined the stake theme "Reach Out to Rescue" with the 100th birthday of the state of Arizona and came up with: cowgirls! It was amazingly adorable and the classes all revolved around the concept of reaching out to others. In one class, Sister Olds spoke about keeping our baptismal covenants and being one (B-1) with each other.
They made these cool magnet boards for their rooms to help them remember to B-1.
Another class, taught by Alan and Tiesha Nesbit, was how to reach out to those around you.
They did little role-plays about walking in someone else's shoes.
The girls learned that you never know what someone else is going through until you reach out and be a friend.
"Rope 'em" was the name of the class where Cherise Halliday taught the girls fun ways to do their hair and how to reach out to a friend and do their hair, too.
Kambi Strong taught the girls to say, "Come join us, pardner!" as they learned some super fun games that can be played as a group. They had a riot!
That afternoon, the girls had invited either their mothers or another special guest to join us for lunch. The menu was Cafe Rio chicken salad in a taco bowl and was a huge hit!
Bishop Cowgur had provided us with these incredible ice cream cakes from Dairy Queen to celebrate the day.
They were frozen solid and President McClellan valiantly stepped forward to help cut the servings. We just giggled when he got up to speak to the girls and had blue lips from licking his fingers!
The girls sang "I'm an Arizona star" and then it was all over.
What a great day! I'm so beyond blessed to work with these hard-working cowgirls! Love you MaryAnn and Niki.
