We had a two day FHE lesson this week. Andy is gone to South Carolina until Wednesday night, so we started FHE on Sunday night. We had a wonderful discussion about the sacrament and how we can do better to remember the Savior during it; then we made reverence books. I let the kids cut pictures out of old church magazines, print out scriptures, words to songs, quotes from General Authorities, other pictures, whatever they wanted to include in their books that would help them remember the Savior. The kids loved doing this and spent and long time working on them; in fact, some of them are still adding to their books. Tonight, we finished our lesson. We did the more formal stuff.
Opening Song: Ashlee - Stars Were Gleaming
Opening Prayer: Aaron
Lesson: Mom I used the following to finish up our lesson. We talked about the story of Jarius' daughter and then about all the things the Savior has done for us to show us he loves us.

Closing Song: Megan - I Stand All Amazed
Closing Prayer: ??? Aidan or Kenna
Treats: chocolate cookies and/or popcorn
I wish I had taken pictures of the kids working on their reverence books. They worked so hard on them. Our front room showed how much fun we had! We sure missed having Dad here to do this FHE with us. We will also be starting a new Sunday challenge to encourage better listening during sacrament meeting. Each child will get 3 or 4 questions to answer about sacrament after church. Each right answer will earn a little treat out of the Sunday is Sweet jar. I am excited to see how it works!!! It will make Andy and me have to do better also.
