Work

Song: Families Can Be Together Forever
Prayer: Arthur
Scripture: Dylan

Lesson: Kerri

Work (from http://www.ldssplash.com/fhe/fhe_lessons/work/work.htm)

What is work? Where does Daddy go everyday? (work) How does his work bless us? (he earns money to support us as a family). Do we work here at home? How do we work at home?

How do you feel when you have done your chores?

Heavenly Father wants us to learn how to work because it helps us be more like Him.

Read and talk about each line of the song "Put your Shoulder to the Wheel"

The world has need of willing men
Who wear the workers seal
Come, help the good work move along
Put you shoulder to the wheel

Put your shoulder to the wheel push along.
Do your duty with a heart full of song.
We all have work, let no one shirk
Put your shoulder to the wheel.

Younger children:
Memorize the song "Put your Shoulder to the Wheel" Put tape on the back of the visual aids and tape them on the wall as needed.

The world has need of willing men (Blue suited worker)
Who wear the workers seal (tape seal on workers shirt)
Come, help the good work move along (man yelling HELP!)
Put you shoulder to the wheel (put shoulder on wheel)

Put your shoulder to the wheel push along. (point at shoulder on wheel, then put up people pushing boulder)
Do your duty with a heart full of song. (heart with music)
We all have work, let no one shirk (two hands working, kid watching T.V.)
Put your shoulder to the wheel. (point to shoulder and wheel again)

Song: Put Your Shoulder to the Wheel

Prayer: Tyler

Activity: Yogurtland

Title of Liberty

Song: The Helping Song
Prayer: Kerri

Lesson: Kerri
I bought some white fabric and made a Title of Liberty. I attached it to a pole.

Show American Flag - what does this mean to you? (Freedom, America, Liberty, Opportunity, Peace)

Flags have been used for many years to symbolize different things for people. They unify groups of people and help to remind them of what is most important.

The Nephites were being threatened by the Lamanites. The Lamanites wanted to take their land and enslave them. If this happened, the Nephites would have lost their ability to worship freely. Captain Moroni created the Title of Liberty to remind his people about what was most important to them.

What were the most important things that Moroni valued? God, Religion, Freedom, Peace, Wives, and Children

The flag rallied his people together in a common goal and they were able to defeat the Lamanites and protect their livelihood.

Song: Popcorn Popping on the Apricot Tree
Prayer: Arthur

Activity: We went to a local ice cream shop for dessert

Helping our Neighbors

Song: I'm Trying to Be like Jesus (Children's Songbook #78)
Prayer: Tyler
Scripture: Arthur

Lesson: Helping our Neighbors

We love our neighbors. They love us and help us in so many ways. Can you think of any way that our neighbors have helped us?

1. Babysitting
2. Love us
3. Let us borrow stuff

Serving others means to help them.

Heavenly Father has asked us to love and serve our neighbors. When we serve them, it makes Heavenly Father happy. How can we help our neighbors?

1. Offer to help
2. Give love in return
3. Be good examples

Song: The Helping Son
Prayer: Arthur

Activity: We received several Family Emergency Prep Guides from a Stake Relief Society that reference the Provident Living website. I can't find a copy online, so I am not sure if it was put together by a local church group (as it has local telephone numbers and addresses). For our activity, we served our neighbors by delivering these guides to them.

Miniature Golf

We didn't get our act together to plan a spiritual lesson this week. So, we stole an idea from one of our friend's blogs and went Miniature Golfing at a small local golf course. Stay tuned on the family blog for pictures from the night.

Oahu Sightseeing

Since we are in Hawaii, FHE was spent sightseeing the island. We hiked up Diamond Head, visited the Byodi-In Temple, and took a scenic tour around the southeastern shores of the Island. Heavenly Father's creations are spectacular!

Learn about Hawaii

Since we are leaving for Hawaii this week, FHE was spent learning about Hawaii. Arthur planned the lesson by printing out a map of Hawaii as well as beautiful pictures of Hawaii beaches, pineapples and hula dancers. The boys loved the map and would stare at the pictures in excitement. When we got to Hawaii, the map was a favorite for the boys to review when we were driving.

Food Storage

My mom has been urging our family to get better prepared with our Food Storage. Tonight, the family went to Costco to purchase rice and canned chicken. It is our goal to purchase at least one food storage item on each Costco trip.

Our stake has also come up with a handy list of important Emergency Preparedness items. We have a long way to go, but if we continue to work at it, we will be prepared.
