10 Virgins Program

My calling in our ward is Enrichment Leader. It can be a very busy calling, but is very rewarding. I am so lucky to work with so many wonderful women that teach me a great deal about life and myself. Last night, we celebrated the R.S. birthday with a program and dinner centered around the parable of the 10 Virgins from the scriptures. It was such a neat experience. We planned a Mediterranean wedding dinner for 80 women and young women, but ended up feeding at least 98. It was a "loaves & fishes" experience, for sure. It really turned out beautifully due to the hard work of so many women. Our program consisted of 10 sisters dressed as the wise and foolish virgins whose characters were being described by 2 narrators, intermixed with 6 beautiful musical numbers. It was planned with the theme of "Come unto Christ." I am grateful for the opportunity it gave me to draw nearer to Christ as I witnessed all of the hard work the sisters around me put in, and the amazing ways the spirit works. A very neat experience that I hope was enjoyed by all.
