Get A Clue!
Mormons can party? What?! Is that even legal? You better believe it. BUT we do it a bit differently: we do it
without alcohol, drugs, immorality, or even coffee (and we’re college
students)! Why on earth would we do
that? Well, there’s this thing we
believe that’s called the Word of Wisdom, which gives us guidelines so we can
be safe and healthy! You can read about
that here:
Our first blog is brought to you by the 26th Ward. They’re a group of kids (almost 200 of us) in their twenties who like to party… a lot. They go by the name #BWE (best ward ever).
Not that they're cocky or anything, they just love each other and they’ve
bonded a lot so they like to maximize their fun together! So what does this BWE do that’s so fun? And do you want creative ideas for fun with
your friends and family? Well keep
reading to find out!
In November, they had a Clue Murder Mystery Party. They broke up into eight groups and each group
was a character, such as Miss Scarlet, Commodore Ivory, or Lady Lavender. Here are some of the groups looking quite
dapper.
They had eight different locations where the “murder” could have
happened, and each location had treats like cookies, cupcake lasagnas, or these
fancy mock tails (Shirley Temples).
The hosts of each station had the clues and people had to talk to
the hosts to figure out how the murder happened. Sometimes, the participants got a bit
stumped.
After gathering clues, each group submitted their accusations and
the murderer, weapon, and location were revealed.
Here are the lovely hosts who remained in character with dashing
accents and made the entire night possible!
It was such a fun night for everyone who participated. It helped them grow closer as friends and as a
ward family. We are strong believers
that fun and happiness foster love.
Gordon B. Hinckley, a former President of our church, once said, “Life is to be enjoyed, not just endured.” We take that to heart and make sure to include everyone in our
fun, so that they can feel the love that we and our Heavenly Father have for
them.
Now the question here is: how will you use good, clean fun to
enrich your life and the lives of the ones you love? Go on, give it a try!
