Well, good ol' fast Sunday is here again but today; I had a lot of fun.
For those who don't know, we fast each first Sunday of the month as a way of becoming more intune with our spiritual sides as we ignore our physical needs for a day. We do not eat or drink and because we ignore our hunger and thirst, we can concentrate on the promptings of the spirit. Our mind is clear to receive revelations.
Before a fast, we offer a prayer, sometimes a question, or whatever we feel, and we fast for it. Some people will fast longer if they want to for an answer or whatever reason, and when we finish, we offer a prayer of thanks.
There are exceptions such as if we sick for example where we may really need a drink, which is fine. End of the day, it is that we try and to show our faith.
In simple terms, you can think of it as a detox for a day which can help with your health. I know not only for my spirituality, there has been times where I wasn't filling 100% and a fast helped improve my condition.

On the 3rd July 2010, we held our Tri-Stake Basketball Tournament once again. This year was filled with many more thrills and excitement with its fair share of tears.
Unfortunately, I can't comment on how the young women did as I mainly watched the young mens.
I mostly watched the juniors aged 12-14 play first to take photos and support my youth before filming the finals of the senior team. Though the juniors did very well this year, they did not make it into the finals. Our seniors, aged 15-17, did make it to the finals though.

Yesterday during sacrament, Sister Frew shared a beautiful story about the divinity of women which she received from an email; I felt like sharing it here also, which I've named as Adam and Eve.

I had some tickets for the Melbourne Museum that expired this month which I had been wanting to use, so, finally with some spare time on a Saturday, I took my deacons from church down to the Melbourne Museum.

Well, on Friday 21st, I was over an Stephen's for his birthday party which consisted of a small group of friends; about 11.
I got there a little late but it seemed though they had only been playing Articulate! at that time. After a while and more people arrived, we played What If? Then, and my version of that game, which I never know of really, but was similar to.
The result of the night was endless side splitting laughing which we ended at 1 in the morning to leave for home.
