Day 10 - FHE

I know I said FHE already... still it was soooo fun! We had the best time laughing and playing.  I was teaching them how to lead music. Nalia and Pomai were laughing about how Namu was leading. And then the jokes about big triangles, small triangles, squares and circles.  I know it doesn't make sense to you .... it was one of those had to be there situations.  Anyway the laughter made it sooooo fun!

Day 3 - Family Home Evening

Can I tell you how much I love Family Home Evening.  I must say I never really enjoyed FHE growing up. I had a moment that changed my life ... when I was a YW president in Utah I was in a PPI with my Bishop ... He asked me about our family home evening and if we were having it every night. I was full of excuses.... It is only Namu, Pomai and I... Namu is working 3 jobs and is never home.... It feels funny doing it alone.... etc.  He looked me in the eye and said, "When are you teaching your daughter the gospel? How does she know you have a testimony?" His words pierced my soul. He said, "It doesn't have to be a big deal ... just you teaching your daughter.. keep it simple.  The important thing is that you are doing it." I have tried to use that council in my life and apply the simplicity of FHE.

Tonight was one of those nights ... and still so fun. We didn't have much time because I got home late and Namu had to work (driving). So Anela chose a lesson using a ready made FHE lesson books ( her lesson was on the Second Coming). Love those kits. :) Then we sang the new Primary song "If I Listen with My Heart"... The kids love it ... We sang it 3 times. I love Family Home Evening ! :0)
