We had a really fun activity this evening for the missionary couples serving here. The Edgingtons were in charge this time. They planned 2 fun games and asked everyone to bring their favorite STORE BOUGHT cookies to share. We got to sample new things. The stores are already filling with Christmas treats and cookies and it’s fun to sample these local treats.
Hot chocolate and marshmallows were provided.
The first game we played was a guessing game. We divided into 4 groups and each group sat in a circle. Two teams played against each other. The Edgingtons gave one person from each group a word. That person had to go back to their group and was only allowed to answer YES or NO to questions while the rest of the group tried to guess the word. Which every team guest it first got to steal a person from their opponents. It was a lot of fun. The words were people, places or things, living or not, man-made or not. The first team to absorb their opponent won.
The other game was called “Heads Up.” we stood in 4 circles, shoulder to shoulder, facing each other. We were all told to look down at our feet. Then when we were told to “Look Up,” we each had to look at another person in the circle. If that person happened to be looking right back at you, both had to step out of the circle and it got smaller. Last persons standing were the winners. It was also really fun.
After the games, we enjoyed the treats and visiting with friends.
We Really enjoy our friends here. These are outstanding people who have given up things (like being with family) to be here. I call it consecration. It changes them. It changes us.
