by: Stillvnu@aol.com One of my advisors did this for a value lesson but it could work with
leadership.
She had 7 "colored raw eggs" (7 values!) You could name them with callings
(Pres, secretary, counselor, etc) She put them in a group and placed a book
(she put new labels on the books) on top. (the book could be conducting on
Sunday's)
Nothing happened. Then she placed another book ( the book could be calling
everyone to remind them about and activity. Repeat several times....
She actually had about 10 good sized books (you may want to try this at home with your own
books to make sure of the weight. None of the eggs cracked.
Then she un-piled the books and took out an egg, re-piled the books - the weight
was still ok. she repeated it until there were only a few eggs left
(probably about 3) and I believe the 2nd or 3rd book crushed all of them (and made a
big MESS!) (You might want to place a trash bag under your tablecloth.
It was very effective that it takes all the eggs to hold the weight. It takes all
the presidency to carry the weight of their callings.
Good luck,
