Another RS Retreat

Again, I'm a few days late posting, but last weekend my Relief Society went on another retreat.  The house wasn't quite as elaborate as the last one (no murals to make it look like a castle), but it was still obvious that the owners are fairly well-to-do.  They, like the owners of the last house we went to, had a huge projector screen for a TV--complete with a remote that none of us poor peasants could figure out--and a suit of armor in their basement.

Yes, both houses had suits of armor.  Apparently they are pretty popular things to have around here.

For our evening activity we had a talent show.  This was no ordinary talent show, however.  They split us into groups and assigned each group a talent.  One group got interpretive dance, another a circus show, and another rapping.  Somehow, I had the great fortune of being in the group that was assigned to do a Broadway show.  Of all the talents they assigned, that probably comes closest to a real talent of mine.  We did a little sketch that tied into the retreat's theme of self-esteem/body image.  Me and two other girls were depressed about something regarding our appearance and were moping about it, when the other girl jumped in and gave us a pep-talk.  She told us that we were princesses of the universe, that we needed to put our cares behind us and just sing in the rain (it had rained on us a bit that night), and then we broke out into "Singin' in the Rain," complete with a little Broadway-style dance that we choreographed in about 5 minutes.  Great fun!
