Relief Society Dinner

Relief Society Birthday dinner with the hearing ward was very nice! We sisters, both hearing and deaf members, actually enjoyed it. First it started with some enjoyable dinner of mixed chicken, celery and some other veggie in stuffed bread wrap and many strawberry & spinach salad. Then dessert of chocolate apple cake. Thanks to the hearing ward for inviting us! It was very enjoyable and it looks like we brought more than plenty salads! During the dinner and dessert, we were able to enjoy watching the talent shows of sisters' talents such as baton leader, tap dancer, singers and a story telling of Emma Smith. It was amazing! We are pretty sure we felt the spirit there. Here are some of the photos and a video. I hope the sisters doesn't mind! The only person that wasn't in the pictures was Sister Croghan. She arrived later, but it was good to see her.
