Primary Scripture Olympics

On March 5 from 11am to 2pm at the Kentlands Chapel, ten lucky participants engaged in fun, exciting contests featuring stories from the scriptures at the Primary Scripture Olympics.  For the Parable of the Ten Virgins with water representing oil and a cup symbolizing the lamp, the children competed in a relay to fill a cup with water using a spoon.  Again using a spoon, they transport boiled eggs representing the fruit from the tree of life.  Everyone had fun taking turns to be David trying to hit Goliath by flipping cranberries with a spoon.  Searchers matched animals scattered all over the gym floor and delivered them to Noah's Ark.  They attempted to build the Tower of Babel by piling up potatoes.  Afterwards, they enjoyed delicious cookies.  Thanks to the Primary leaders for organizing such a fun activity.

Where Are They Now? ---> Nick Rodgers



I am Nick Rodgers, also known as Luo Zhang Lao or Luo Jie.  I served as a missionary in the branch from January 2003 to December 2004.  On my mission, my companions were Elders Logan Hale, Benjamin Li, Chad Muir, Alan Sheffield, Dylan Landeen, Mitch Howe, Joe Heaton, and Kyle Melling.  My mission presidents were President Madsen and President Price.

Two days stand out to me.  On my first day visiting the branch, I was feeling very welcomed but out of place. I couldn't understand anything anyone was saying, and I'm sure they couldn't understand me either. During my last day as a member of the branch, I was feeling like I was leaving home all over again. I could understand them, and they could understand me. In two years we had become family. I still think of my time in the branch frequently and fondly.

I graduated from the BYU Marriott School of Business with a degree in Information Systems in 2009.  Now I am working for a small consulting company called Metric-X located in Perrysburg, OH.  I am married to Brittany Viola Rodgers with 4 children: Madisen Rayanne (girl age 4), Nicholas "Cole" Jeffrey (boy age 3), Ethan David (boy age 2), and Bennett Daniel (boy age 6 weeks).
