Our ward planned a get-together for the YSAthis last Friday that was a lot of fun. We started out at the Ribes’ home. Adriel and I got there a little late but early according to Brazilian Standard Time, so hardly anyone else had arrived. The party was in that mood where everyone is a little hesitant to talk to other people and just keep to themselves or their close friends. Looking around the room, I wanted to change that, so Adriel and I got a group together and started playing Ninja Destruction (always a good warm-up game). Some people who knew the game jumped right in, but everyone else came over to watch. Just like that, the ice was broken. The game didn’t last too long but it broke that awkward barrier and other games soon started breaking out over the room. Pizza was later served, and so much of it that there were four entire boxes left over. The bishop then gave a spiritual thought and more games commenced. I have to mention that playing Charades is not easy with a more limited vocabulary. Although, it is pretty awkward when you shout out the right name to an alcoholic beverage before anyone else and get it right. Everyone tends to wonder after that. The next morning everyone met up for a great breakfast and Adriel impressed everyone with his crazy flips on the trampoline. The activity succeeded in its purpose and new friendships were made and old ones were strengthened.
