I spent the last couple of weeks surveying my ward - yes, 45 actual questions handed out to every person I could catch in the ward. This resulted in over 200 answers for our very own "survey" for Family Feud.
These very unique ward/area/church-specific questions have kept me entertained for the last week as I tallied up the answers.
How would YOU answer the following?
- What is your favorite Sunday activity?
- Name something missionaries do.
- How long could you live on the food storage in your home today?
- At what age was your first kiss?
- Name an event in which a prayer is said before it begins.
Well, the ward responded hilariously and it made for a super entertaining, memorable ward party. Nearly every adult in the room got to participate in a "family" to play our very realistic game - buzzers, scoreboard, corny game-show-host jokes and all.
I laughed right out loud at a few of these answers - Missionaries "break rules", lots of people "Nap" on Sunday (so I knew those people don't have kids yet), a prayer is said before "church basketball", and how long could you live on the food in your home today - "TWO HOURS!!!" I still laugh when I tell that one out loud, it caught me so off guard.
I'm loving my ward and having a ward family again.

Oh man, I love the Family Feud! Well first of all I LOVE the Adrie posts. Second of all I keep thinking about the picture of her on the couch in just her pink fuzzy vest. I Laughed out loud today in my math class just thinking about it. Two weeks!

I didn't know you were in charge of the activity! That was so much fun. Love your blog and I especially love your pictures. I really do want you to take pictures of my baby when she is born! I've looked at other photographers and by far you are the most impressive. What talent!
