Day 42

FHE tonight. We played Capture the Flag with nylon balls of flour as paintball-esque weapons. It was epic, to say the least. Grosland took several shots to the face/teeth whilst Erin developed a habit of falling to her knees in surrender when hit. (Responsible Beth, sadly, was not there. She was at a work meeting.)

The best thing about today was that we realized that we really have friends in the ward. YAY! We had a great time with Matt, Andrew the Grey, Andrew the White, David, and Javid (pronounced "JA" - as in Jack - "vid"), Phil, Garrett, Brittany, and of course Brother Barlow. AND David taught Gros and Erin the 181st Ward's Birthday Song:

Happy Birthday to you! (clap clap)
It takes me back to those good old days.
Happy Birthday to you! (clap clap)
You sure grew out of your baby ways.
Happy Birthday to you! (clap clap)
It's your birthday, wish you many more;
Health and wealth and FRIENDS BY THE SCORE!
Cut the cake and let's eat some more.
Happy Birthday to you! (clap clap)

It is considerably more awesome than just singing the boring normal version. Plus, it's upbeat and involves fist-pumping. What's not to like?

The 181st Ward is bomb. Just so you know.

I am so glad you're having fun, making friends, and getting hit in the face with weapons. That's how you know you've truly arrived.
