This is our P-Day Activity!
Friday is our P-day. Does that mean Play day? Well it must, because we love our Fridays getting together with these elders and sisters from the two eastern-most districts in the New York, New York South Mission. Ten of us in this picture attend the Bay Shore chapel ward or branch - six English-speaking and four Spanish-speaking.
Today there was an activity on "Souls and Goals - How to Baptize." This is how it went down. (I'm still laughing!) There was a judge's panel of four elders. There were contestants from the two districts who were asked "Did you baptize?" If they answered "no" the music began and they had to dance. Oh boy...would they dance! An elder from Jamaica could really jive! WOW! Then the MC would say something like..."OK, if you can dance like that...you can certainly baptize...so get working this week!" Sisters danced with sisters. Elders danced alone. Missionaries were standing on chairs video taping their peers. It was so fun.
We then divided into districts and had a spiritual presentation on how to get commitments from investigators. This was followed by lunch, treats and good-byes until next Friday.

I feel like serving a mission again. But I want to go to New York! Thanks for the updates!
It's so nice to see a picture of a big group of wonderful, bright, spirited missionaries.
