Celestial transmitters and receivers

On Sunday night YSA from the stake gathered to the foreign land of the Eastern Shore (gasp!!) at Rosny Chapel to attend the Rosny-hosted stake fireside. Presented by our favouritest Sunday School teacher and geocacher, Colin Chick, we knew that it would be a great evening. He began by explaining to us about the art of geocaching, with the use of a GPS and we went outside and gave it a go, eventually finding the hidden box. He also had us experiment with our mobile phone reception at different locations around the building. These object lessons were likened to our communication with Heavenly Father, how we need to be in the right place physically, spiritually or emotionally to receive transmissions or answers to our prayers. We were given great insights into presenting our question in prayer correctly, for example not expecting to get a 'burning in the bosom' answer from a multiple choice question. I can barely do justice to the fireside from my summary, but be assured it benefitted many of us! Representing Rosny ward were Erin (aka Shazza), Fiona (aka Trev), Tyler, Scott, Jason, Libby, Rachel, Emily and Mari-Anna.
