EQ Partay

Stephen and I got a new look at our fellow ward members at the Elders Quorum Party on Friday. We had a ton of fun, but were introduced to the many quirks of the men. Being in Relief Society I really don't know many of the men in our ward. I was quickly introduced to them in through the numerous games we played.

Stephen and I started out by filling out a questionnaire about our marriage and courtship. Most of the questions were to see either how much we remembered or how much we payed attention. Some of the other couples felt that we were cheating because we had been married for the least amount of time and didn't have as long to remember. For example: "What color is your wife's toothbrush?" or "Where do you plan on retiring?" or "Where was your first kiss?" There were twenty questions to answer. It was fun to see what things Stephen and I remembered and forgot.

The evening progressed to a game of Family Feud. Members of the Elders Quorum were polled on different questions and we were to come up with their answers. Personally, I thought that some of the answers that the Elders Quorum came up with were really lame. For example: One of the questions was, "What is the greatest man movie of all time?" One of the answers was The Counte of Monte Cristo! Seriously?! Man Movie!! That is NOT a man movie. I complained about that, but it was hilarious to watch the other guys' reactions as well. Some of them were just as shocked...

The final game was set up like speed dating, except that we did it as a couple. They asked each couple to come up with a question to ask the other couples to help us get to know one another better. We each had 30 seconds to ask our question and get an answer, so with two couples we had a minute. Stephen and my question was this, "If you were both stranded alone on a deserted island and could bring two things, what would you bring?" After telling one couple that they couldn't bring their kids, one wife said, "Thank you!" he he he

Some of the most entertaining answers were these: toothbrush and John Locke (yes the one from Lost), unlimited Mountain Dew and Pizza, and duct tape (that was all he needed).

We also had some clever questions asked of us. One was, "If we were to go on a double date with you and you husband, what could we do to offend you?" Another was, "If you could change anything about your spouse, what would it be?" Yeah...how would you answer those?

Stephen and I had a blast! Thanks to the EQ!
