ACTIVITY DAYS - My Body Is A Temple The Activity Day Girls, ages 8-11, from the 3rd & 7th Wards of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints recently held an activity titled My Body Is A Temple. Easter season and Christ's miraculous resurrection, reminds us that our body is truly a gift. Our body is a temple! It is a house for the Spirit of God. The girls were reminded how to keep it healthy! A healthy spirit requires that we remember who we are. We are special. We are children of God. A healthy mind requires us to keep our minds pure. We are more beautiful than we think. What we put in our mind effects us. Only watch, read and listen to things that are positive and uplifting. A healthy body requires us to stay healthy and safe. Leaders, Heather Blazzard and Wendy Rasmussen, discussed health, hygiene, nutrition and exercise. The girls identified healthy foods and unhealthy choices. Special guest speaker Dena Hoff was the concluding speaker and covered the topic of safety. Dena is a certified instructor of the radKids program each summer and highlighted a few important tips to keep safe. She read Sam's Secret to the girls. It is about a young boy becoming brave enough to tell his parents of the sexual misconduct to him by an older boy. Dena taught the girls some defensive moves and ways to draw attention to yourself in an abduction attempt. It gave the girls knowledge.
