On April 14th, Manassas Assembly #13 went to Competitions. The Girls there were Katie, Sami, Isabella, Batu, M’Balu, Isabella, Alyssa, Gigi, Kate, Eliza, Dalanie, Zoey, Ella and myself. I ended up arriving late because of a tournament I had to attend beforehand, but I made it just in time for the Fidelity competition. I did three competitions: The Fidelity Lecture, the Rose Lecture, and the Dad Talk. Once I finished competing in all the events I was competing in, we all sat on our phones, and at one point, M’Balu and Batu were brushing Eliza and Isabella’s hair, and I joined in with them. It soon led to us doing each other’s hair and makeup, as Isabella and I had makeup with us. Eliza did a crown in my hair which looked amazing, and she also taught me how to do it, and I did her hair and makeup. Batu and I also did Zoey’s hair in cute space buns which were just adorable. I ended up staying there till about 6:30, and I got home at about 9. I had lots of fun, and I’m definitely competing next year!

On April 22nd, Dalanie, Isabella, Maribelle, Alyssa, Gigi, Sami, Katie, Kate Jazmyn, Joella and I helped with delivering a huge meal to the local fire station.  When we got there, there were only two firefighters at the station.  But as time passed, more arrived.  The Girls and I had to carry a lot of food up two flights of stairs.  Of course, as soon as we got to the station, Jazmyn and I were extremely curious as to the whereabouts of the fire pole.   Eventually one of the firefighters showed it to us.  As soon as I saw it, I knew that it was going to be the highlight of my day!  We took a lot of great pictures and I couldn’t believe how much fun I had that day. We then took one last picture with the firefighters and the day was over.

On April 14th, we visited the residents of the Masonic Home of Virginia – MAHOVA.  The ride down there was long but Eliza was in the car with me so I didn’t get bored.  I had written a letter to one of the Grandparents that we saw at our visit in January and I was able to meet her in person while we were there.  Betty wasn’t feeling well so I couldn’t talk to her very long, but it was nice to be able to meet her.  We also saw the MAHOVA King and Queen again.  We walked through the halls and at the cozy corner met up with the woman that we saw from our last visit and she is over 100 years old.  She escorted us to the dining room where we had lunch and talked to the residents while we were there.  Lunch was pretty good.  After our visit with the MAHOVA residents we headed over to the state Ritual Competitions at the Scottish Rite Temple in Richmond.
