Sunday Night Family Night

We've loved having our FHE lessons on Sunday Night. It seems they are more meaningful, and the games on Monday more fun. We have so much more time for both.

Tonight we continued our series on Testimony. Justin reviewed his 5 steps of gaining a testimony, then we went outside to talk about building and strengthening them. I explained that a testimony is like a fire. Justin wrote down his 5 steps on 5 pieces of cardboard, and we lit them on fire. "Wow! That's a great testimony isn't it mom!" We watched the fire burn until it went out, and asked, "What happened to your testimony? It was burning so bright a minute ago!" He answered that we needed more fuel. And we talked about how our testimonies need to receive fuel everyday to keep them strong and bright.

So we lit another fire and threw in little logs that said PRAYER, SCRIPTURE STUDY, OBEDIENCE, etc, and kept adding them to the fire. We had quite the fire going!

We shared our testimony with each other, and sang "Testimony" in the hymn book. It was a special evening. I love Family Nights. I love to see how much learning, loving and fun takes place.

We really miss Geoff! Can't wait till he gets back home!
