Sacrifice

Last night was my first time going to mutual since my new calling (beehive adviser) and it was so great! Brother and Sister Cunning planned this and I have to say the spirit was so strong! The game was called concentration camp. First we went into the gym and there was a volleyball net set up. The object was to get all the members of our "family" over the net without any talking or touching the net. They had to use hand gestures to try and figure out the plan. After a couple of failed attempts, they were able to get everyone over the net. However, there was one last person who had no way of getting over.

None of the youth really knew what was going on, but when we went back in and sat down Brother Mitchell spoke to us. He spoke about all the sacrifices that we have to make and how hard it is to make them. He then spoke about the many blessings we will receive when we make these sacrifices, however big or small. I am so thankful for the opportunity I had to be there - it was so uplifting to be reminded of all the sacrifices people have made for me and you to make our lives so great! It also made me really think about the ultimate sacrifice that was made for us by our Savior.

What a great night! Thanks Brother and Sister Cunning!
