Anyway, there was a ward potluck at 3 p.m. on Sunday at the Ferguson's house. There were many delicious food options, and even though it was a bit hot (and sunny, as evidenced in Joe Hawkin's squinty face in the following photograph), we still had a good time:

Ward Potluck
On Sunday, June 27, 2010, we had another Ward Activity (there was also a combined activity with another ward on Saturday, June 26, but we didn't go to that one and hence have no photographic evidence at our immediate disposal that it even happened).
Ward Opening Social
On June 17, 2010, the Activities Committee sponsored the Ward Opening Social in Provo Canyon, where members got to make their own tin foil dinners and smores while getting to know each other a little bit better. Here are some photos from the evening:

Bishopric FHE June 14, 2010
We had quite an exciting Bishopric FHE at our home on June 14, involving a roaring, gasoline-enhanced BBQ (don't try that ever), kebabs, chocolate cake, chips, and egg tossing:
After a lesson on responsibility, people drew "babies" on eggs and then had the chance to show how careful and responsible they could be by tossing the baby egg back and forth to each other, getting farther and farther away from their partner with each toss. Here are some of the photos from the event:

FHE and Activities
Although I don't have photos at my disposal for this post, I just wanted to recognize that FHE is doing really well in the ward under the leadership of Chad Lyons and Sabrina Sanchez. We had a great and well attended Memorial Day bonfire with smores and other treats at Nunn's Park in Provo Canyon last Monday! Thanks guys!
Also, the Activities Committee is gearing up for a big summer under the direction of Co-Chairs Chad Ruger and Darci Pearson. We will be having our opening Summer Social on June 17 in Hobble Creek Canyon. Get ready!
Presidency Changes
There have been a few changes in the organizations of the BYU 206 Ward, including...
1. The Sunday School Presidency, with Nathan Robinson as President, Bryce Arnell and Lehi Beltran as counselors, and Brittani Hunsaker as secretary.
2. The Relief Society Presidency, with Penny Wing as President, Sara Shawcroft and Angela Roberts as counselors, and Alyssa Walker as secretary.
Garden Party
On May 15, the Relief Society held a "Garden Party" at the Ferguson's home. President Baker, Stake President, came and taught us a great deal about gardening—spiritually and temporally. After a light lunch, we literally dug in and started preparing and planting! Here are some of the results of our efforts:

May Bishopric FHE
Although we can't speak for what Brother Ballard and Bishop Mackay did at their Bishopric FHE's on May 10, 2010, the Ferguson home was filled with lots of energy as we had a cook off with the members present.
Using many random (primarily food storage inspired) ingredients, each team had to create a dessert for the "judges" (Brother and Sister Ferguson).
The winning team made a concoction out of brownie and yellow cake mixes, pumpkin, peppermint chocolate sticks, butter, eggs, cereal, and oatmeal:
We had to give them the win for their extreme creativity (and the fact that it tasted surprisingly good!)
The other team created a delicious cinnamon bread/cake with apple pie filling, oil, and various other things that I can't remember now. They lost primarily due to a lack of using a key ingredient they had picked: coconut.
We talked about the importance of goals and preparing all things wisely. All in all, we had a good time (and ate proper, non-experimental food as well).
