Missionary Night

On the evening of 28 May, the Locust Lane building was brimming with missionary-kind-of things. SNAP friends heard from some of their peers who have served or are going to serve missions. The Santiagos explained how to be a missionary by doing all kinds of good. Next came a missionary scavenger hunt around the building. Each item on the list was something missionaries do, so we did them too. Missionaries love to eat, so we had refreshments to finish the evening. And the basketball shooting went on until the bitter end.

 Sister Burns wore a very funny haiku shirt to remind us of last weeks fun poetry fest

 This fine man told us about his mission with Church Floral Services

 He looked every bit a missionary

 The Santiagos explained how to do missionary work without being a full-time missionary

 Brother Santiago strokes his chin thoughtfully

 SNAP friends had lots of ideas about how to do good

 This great young woman is excited to serve in Baltimore, Maryland

 Here is the list of things to find and do on our scavenger hunt

 The groups begin to form and head out on the hunt

 Missionaries walk A LOT, so we walked around the building

 Keep on truckin'

 Missionaries talk to people at the door -- Brother Santiago is waiting for missionaries to knock

 We found Preach My Gospel in the Nursery!

 More folks walking around the building on a beautiful evening

 The photographer caught Sister Norris mid sentence

 Brother Burns wondered what LDS meant when these missionaries knocked on his door

 Describing what was in this photo of a Sacrament Meeting

 Missionaries love to play basketball on P-Day, so we shot some hoops

 Another group of missionaries tries to get Brother Burns to come to church

 I believe they convinced him

 More pictures, this time in the Media Center, as you might expect

 Go for the basket!

 She is ACE!

 Treats for everyone when we finished our lists

 Miraculously, none of these got on the floor

 These two have serious skills

 The best part about SNAP is being with friends

 And visiting

 And posing

 And just having fun

These guys were the last ones out of the hall

Yet another great and fun activity. Thanks to all who participated and helped.
