What Good Leaders Do....

So I am going to show off the YW & YM leaders that are in our ward. Megan Lamb is 1st counselor in YW and Ryan Lamb is 1st counselor for the YM. Here is what my girls were sooo excited for. Today they went to the Lamb's for the afternoon conference session. Greg is 2nd couns. in YM and went for a little bit, but had to leave for a work dinner in Fort Myers. Here is what the Lamb's did for them. So cool!

From The Lamb's Blog:
Prophet Party!!

So Ryan and I are each the first counselor in our respective youth auxiliaries...Ryan decided on a whim to invite the youth over for a Prophet Party...The whole idea was this:

People generally get all geared up for big sports events such as the Super Bowl or the World Series, so why not get pumped up and excited to hear our Prophet and his Counselors speak?! So we ordered pizza, got soda and Gatorade, and had each of the Youth bring a dessert or side to share and a blank T Shirt, then we made jerseys for whatever apostle we chose. Ryan began the whole thing by explaining that in Life we have to make choices, were asked to chose this day who we will serve, we can either be on the Lord's team or on the opposition's, with that being said, he asked the youth to imagine that we are in the football game of life, with conference being a practice or sort of half time, the coach is President Monson, giving us the plays, and showing us how to succeed on the Lord's side and ultimately win the ultimate prize, eternal life with out Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. He did great explaining the importance of paying attention to conference...It went great and here are the pics of the jerseys and a few group shots! Hope Everyone enjoys!

The Whole Port Charlotte Gang






Oh Jordan!! First we had to use an upside down U for an N then we ironed on a backward "R" to the front, then she wanted to change her number from 6 to two, so I made her number 6/3, truly only Jordan could pull off this shirt!!


and Jaycee's Shirt, the front says Power of the Pickle, referencing an earlier talk by Elder Bednar and his parable of the pickle! One of my favorites!

We had a blast! We only had a few shenanigans like people trying to eat hot sauce or trying to down a tablespoon of cinnamon, but other than that all went well! it was a great activity and the Youth had fun (I hope!), If any of you young men or young women are reading this, please feel free to post a comment and let us know if you had as much fun as we did!
