Words. Cannot. Describe.........
For mutual we did a Value Color Run. Color runs are very popular right now, and we decided to try one! Or fearless 1st Counselor Stacy Minor planned out the event. We met at the Stake Center and told the girls to wear a white shirt, pants that could be ruined, and same with shoes! The purpose to start in the white was to signify FAITH. And as they were to run/jog/walk/crawl each lap they were to think about that value. As leaders we split up and went with them on the laps. We were to compliment them on their VALUES. All too often we compliment them on their hair, or shirt, or dress. But not on who THEY are as an individual. As they circled the "color station" we spritzed them with water to prepare the shirts for the color. (We used powdered paint from Hobby Lobby and it works better when some what wet). For the grand finale of VIRTUE we sprinkled attacked them with GOLD glitter!
I will say that even though they ran/jogged/walked/crawled an average of 2 miles they were all cheerful and happy to get colored!
