What do you do in the North Jordan Branch Relief Society to celebrate Valentines day? Have a barbecue of course!
We had hot dogs, chicken wings, onions, french fries, tomatoes, salad, pita, rolls and chicken patties. If that sounds like a recipe for weight gain, you're right! But oh, the food was SO GOOD!!
Everyone pitched in and helped with the food preparation
The Jordanians really know how to put on a feast! They are not only good cooks, but the dishes they make are masterful works of art--and very delicious.
There were 26 sisters in attendance at the activity, which is quite remarkable because there are only 19 members of the church in our branch. Several of the women who attended are "members without baptism" which means they attend church regularly, have testimonies, but cannot or will not join because of the society they live in. There's nothing like a party with good food to bring people out no matter where the church is located.
They wanted to play a game, so we asked everyone wrote down something about themselves that nobody else knows on a piece of paper. Then we read the comments and had to guess who wrote them. It was loads of fun. Everyone laughed and laughed. Next, all the sisters were each given a blank valentine which they passed around so everyone could wrote something nice and loving about each one.
"What did you like the best about the party?" we asked Hudda (the president) after it was over. She said it was the fact that everyone pitched in, helped and had a good time together. We call that "Unity" and "Sisterhood."
The grand finale!!! Two heart shaped cakes for dessert!!! You gotta love it.
