Ward Campout

Don't forget about the ward campout this weekend! It will be at the bishop's cabin in Ashton and it's going to be so much fun! A group will be meeting in the church parking lot on Friday at 6 pm, so meet there to caravan up! Dinner will be served at 7 pm, and Brother Larry Keel will be taking care of the main dish, so be prepared to be fed well! After dinner, there will be a bonfire, fireside, and a movie. And remember...if you can't stay overnight, just head up for the evening! It will be a really fun ward activity!

Wednesday's activity

Here's a reminder for Wednesday night's activity at 7 p.m. in the RS room:

Show and tell - tell us how you and your husband met (briefly) and bring a few (3 at most) wedding photos to share with the sisters.

We'll have a small thought on eternal marriage and treats of course!

We'd love to see you all!

Photography Night Follow-Up!

Miriam taught us some awesome basics about photography! (They obviously didn't get used in the taking of these pictures...)

Miriam, Julia , and Penny.

Jill, Lindsy, and Kristen.

The pregnant ladies: Elizabeth and Sarah.

Miriam taught us things like how on earth to use our cameras! Most of us barely used any features other than click a picture or take a video.

She talked about lighting and "leading lines" (which was just fascinating!). She also said if you take a picture of someone looking a certain direction, you should include some space in the direction the person is looking (also such a common-sense thing to do!).

Melissa, Jessica, and Monica.

Miriam taught us more than that and took everyone outside to practice some of what she showed and explained to us. THANK YOU, MIRIAM!!

We ate some AMAZING brownies with a mint"ish" topping made by Melissa (THANK YOU, MELISSA!).

Also in attendance: Breeana and Samantha.

Photo night!

Hey ladies: don't forget this tomorrow night, 7 p.m.! We'll have some light treats, too!

Visiting Teaching Reminder

Can you believe it's already May 21? I know I can't! Most of you received your new visiting teaching assignment at Church two weeks ago, so be sure to contact your companion and get your visiting teaching done since there are only ten more days before the end of the month! If you don't have your assignment, we'll get it to you on Sunday. And if you have questions about who you visit or who visits you, you can contact me at carahadley@gmail.com or at 208-339-0014.

The visiting teaching message is a talk from the April General Conference that you feel will best help the sisters you visit. You can access the General Conference talks here.

Stake Conference

Happy Tuesday, girls! Just a reminder that this weekend is our stake conference, and it's going to be so good! The adult session is Saturday night at 7 pm in our chapel, then the Sunday morning session is at 10 am in our chapel. Try to be seated by 9:30 am, though, so you're not stuck in the back of the cultural hall on the hard chairs! Our meeting will actually be a broadcast from one of the members of the Twelve Apostles, so be sure to be there! We're excited to see you at stake conference!

Pictures from the Opening Social

Thanks to all the girls who came to our first activity of the semester! There was some pretty AMAZING food and it was fun to socialize. Looking forward to seeing everyone at the upcoming activities!
