Mini Missionary

Jasmine attended her first Primary Activity where she was to be a mini-missionary and be taught what missionaries do in the church. It was cute because they had a whole program ready for the kids - it was very organized and involved.
I dressed Jasmine up and headed to the church as I was asked to be the flight attendant on the mock airplane. They began their journey at the MTC (Missionary Training Center) where they heard someone talk about all the tools they would need to go out on missions, including the scriptures, books and other essential items they would need to have at all times.
They were then assigned to a companion, Jasmine was assigned to Jordan Marshall who took very good care of her. They received their airplane tickets and boarded my airplane which I named Spirit Air. I decided to make it fun for the kids so I put on a British accent and tried to act as strict as possible. They were in designated seats and then I did the emergency speech and the take off.When they arrived on their missions, they met their mission presidents and spent time going from room to room where they learned about different parts of the world where missionaries serve. They had a room for Italy, Romania and the Philippines and also a relay training room where they got to play some missionary games.After visiting each room, trying the food from the country and learning a bit about what missionaries do, it was time to board the airplane and go home. They had an in-flight movie - Called to Serve and the Captain (our bishop) said a few things to them before they landed.
I thought it was a great activity and I was happy that Jasmine got to participate and enjoy being a part of primary.
