Enrichment Activity: A Shoe About You

Michelle was in charge of coordinating the quarterly enrichment activity for our ward. This activity was the annual Relief Society birthday party. The theme of the activity was "A Shoe About You". The idea, as it was explained to me, was to have a dinner with the sisters. While the sisters ate dinner each sister was given a few moments to share a shoe that represented themselves and to tell why that shoe represented them.

The report and comments made it sound very successful. The sisters enjoyed the opportunity to share something about themselves. They were able to learn a little bit more about each other and strengthen the bonds of friendship and sisterhood. They enjoyed a wonderful dinner. And it sounded like it turned out to be a very spiritual and touching evening as well.

I'm always excited to see Michelle put so much effort into a project or program. She has some amazing insights and amazing attention to details. I know that she will stress for weeks before the event, trying to coordinate every last detail. But in the end things go so well and everyone generally has a good time.

While Michelle put together such a wonderfully uplifting evening I was home with the boys. We had a good time as well, although it wasn't quite a spiritually uplifting it certainly was entertaining. David showed me how poorly I play the Wii (Mario Kart). We had bathes and everyone was in bed, just a little late.
