Brent Zundel as Nephi and

Kaylob Poduska as Helaman


Our primary presidency was just called 4 weeks ago. I'm the 1st counselor. We had our first Activity Day on Saturday (Feb 23rd 2008). It was AWESOME! We asked some of the men in our ward to portray themselves as Book of Mormon Prophets. I borrowed a Helamon and Nephi costume from Sis. Stout. Moroni already had his fancy duds. The men did a great job relating the prophets stories to the life's of the children. In my Sunday afternoon pic of Cannon you'll see a Member missionary tag on his shirt. He got that from Helaman at the activity. He loved it and put it on himself when he got dressed for church. Moroni rigged some fabric to tear easily. He put it under his clothes. as he told about the time he made the Title of Liberty he reached inside his coat and ripped out a piece of fabric. It was awesome to see the kids faces as the heard the fabric tearing and saw him rip his coat. then he took out a pen and wrote "In memory of our God, ect......." For Nephi we set up a room like the vision of the tree of life. I borrowed a fog machine to create mists of darkness. I also borrowed a sheet with a building painted on it. We used a ficus tree with white lights. We had a rope going across the span of the room. We turned off the lights and put a spotlight aimed at the Tree of Life. It is hard to tell in the pictures but it looked pretty good. Heidi has told me a few times her favorite prophet is Nephi.

We have a large primary so we split them up into three groups. They rotatated through each B of M prophet then they all came together again at the end. To conclude the Activity Day, Bro. Reider (from our bishopric) taught about our modern day prophet Pres. Monson. All in all is was worth the work and turned out great!
