A Good Seed?

"Ye Receive No Witness Until After The Trial Of Your Faith" 
-Ether 12:6

Activity Days was fun this week.  We are having an excellent turn out and having some good laughs. 

We talked about seeds and what they need to grow.  Showing a small carrot seed we had a conversation oh how something so small can become a large carrot (found a good sized one at the store).  We then talked about seeds of faith in Alma 32 and what was needed to nourish those seeds, if it were a good seed and what would happen if it were a bad seed. 
I made these little "bookmarks" for the girls to put into their scriptures with carrot seeds to remind them how faith can grow when nourished and when acted upon.
For the activity, I had found these awesome Sunflower Grow Kits at Walmart for 98 cents!  Kristin Hatch my co-partner had these girls getting dirty and preparing their seeds to grow. Good times.

Finally, we played a fun skittle game that had everyone rolling.  You had to place a skittle on your tongue and roll two dice.  If you rolled a one or a seven, you could eat it.  If not, you had to leave the skittle on your tongue until your next roll.  One girl had up to 6 skittles on her tongue before she finally rolled a one.  It was a lot of fun.
