The Hunt is Over

This past Thursday I hosted by second RS Meeting (or whatever they are calling them these days). The theme of the event was "What is Your Destination?". We gave the sisters a bag to pack for their journey and told them they must bring their scriptures but as for the items in the bag was their choice and to remember it was a spiritual journey.

We started the evening having salad bar and then the sister went on a Scavenger hunt. I wrote up clues that they had to use their scriptures to find a reference and key word. For most of the clues they had to go searching rooms in the church to get their next clue as well as pick up an item for the clue. I had them picking up things such as a bear (to remember to bear each others burdens), a mustard seed (faith), a blanket (comforter), temple picture, pass along card (missionary work), and even had them fold a towel for service.

I also checked out their bags and gave out prizes for things in their bags. Items sisters packed included a butterfly kit, a piece of bread, temple recommend, temple figurine, blanket, comfort booties, pink fuzzy heart pillow, a pencil with 8 colors, a music CD, a book, the RS president brought her notebook in her bag, a map, and some other crazy things.

It was so much fun and the sisters really enjoyed it. We ended the evening eating cookies.
