Family Home Evening

Ryan made a point of asking me to make sure I blog about our past two family home evenings. So here it is.
A couple of weeks ago Jack was in charge of the lesson. So we were sitting around waiting for him to start. He went into the kitchen and got some bread and a cup of water. Ryan and I looked at each other and thought "what". Well he surprised us by saying he was giving the lesson on the Last Supper. He then went on to explain that before Jesus died he had a supper with his disciples that came to represent the sacrament. Jack didn't get all of the details correct but he did a great job talking about the sacrament and Jesus. I was surprised that he even knew about the Last Supper and could give even a few details about it. I am grateful to good primary teachers that teach him.
The next week Jay was giving the lesson and his was the string cheese and water lesson. I think he was also trying to give the lesson on the Last Supper but Jay wanted to use string cheese. Jay said that the string cheese represented the heart of Jesus and that the water represented the blood. Pretty close and creative. Just when we were finishing our lesson Jason came over with Kaden and Tessa. Jay then invited Kaden to come to church with us because on Sunday we are having a missionary day and we are suppose to invite someone to church with us. So Jay invited Kaden. That lead to another lesson on missionary work and how Kaden does goes to the same church just not the same ward.
I am so happy that my children are actually listening and trying to do what is right. I know Ryan and I have our work cut out for us in teaching and raising our children but if we keep working and praying maybe we will get it right. I love my children.
