We fed the missionaries Dinner tonight. I talked to the girls about how the missionaries represent Jesus Christ, and so they are our very special dinner guests. Grace decided she wanted to play restaurant, and I encouraged her to play the waitress tonight. So, she dressed up, including silver high heeled sandals. She served the Elders their dinner graciously.
After dinner, we had the Elders join our Family Home Evening. We like to have them over for Family Home Evening as often as possible.
So, Mom was the MC and song leader. Grace gave the lesson about the Holy Ghost. Jim and Mom made Hot Chocolate for treats. Sienna performed reading Too Much TV by the Berenstein Bears, followed by a Daddy's rousing game of Follow the Leader. Daddy likes to be the silliest ever when he is in charge! You should have seen those Elders following him while holding on to their ankles!
So, great, right? Yes, we have very simple and very fun family nights as a rule.
But, then, after Royal took the Elders home, he told me what one of them had to say about it. He said, He'd had one FHE in his life. It consisted of a terribly boring night where his mom read the scriptures in a monotone voice, and then gave up forever because everyone hated it so much. Who knew we could influence missionaries for good?

It is so very pleasing to me to hear about my family following the prophets. FHE is an inspired program and I look forward to participating with all of you soon.
Love forever,
MOM
Do you remember when I was single and would forget and call you on Monday. I would hear "Happy Family Home Evening" when you answered the phone. You and your family were inspiring then and continue to be so now!
