On the Agenda
Each sister wrote her name on top of a balloon. Then all the balloons were placed in one small room. Initially, we had to go in the room and try to find our balloon, but without any lights, no talking, no helping, and we only got two tries. Then, we did a second round with lights on, help allowed, and as many tries as you need. We learned the importance of working together and helping each individual sister "Rise Above!"
Then we heard from two sisters who shared how they strive to be a light and "Rise Above." Whitney spoke about practical ways of becoming more like the Savior and encouraged us to focus on Christ-like attributes. These attribute can "lift" us and keep our "balloons" afloat. Annie shared with us how she feels and shares Christ-like love with others. The experiences she shared were inspirational and motivated us to see others as Christ sees them!
