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.

FHE - Lexi's Bad Day

Song: Jesus Wants Me for a Sunbeam
Prayer: Arthur

Lesson: Kerri

Sometimes we have good days and sometimes we have bad days. Here is a story about a little girl named Lexi. She was having a bad day.

Lexi's Bad Day (Friend April 2008)

Why was Lexi having a bad day?
What did she do to turn her bad day into a good day?

Mommy, Daddy, Tyler and Dylan have good days and we have bad days. When we have a bad day, sometimes just singing fun songs can make us feel better.

Song: Give Said the Little Stream
Prayer: Tyler

The Courage of Abinidi

Song: The Temple Song (conducted by Dylan)
Prayer: Arthur

Lesson: Arthur
We used hand puppets to reenact the story of Abinidi. Since Tyler and Dylan are still very young, we substituted out the part where Abinidi and King Noah are burned to death. Instead, we said that they were spanked.

Song: The Helping Song (conducted by Dylan)
Prayer: Tyler

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.

Easter

We held our FHE on Sunday night this week because it was Easter. We used this lesson to illustrate the story of the Atonement.

Moroni hides the Plates

Song: He Sent his Son (Children's Songbook #34)

Arthur explains that the Gold plates are hidden by Moroni so that Joseph Smith can find them in the future. The Golden Plates become the Book of Mormon. For a reference, use: GAK 320

Song: The Helping Song
Prayer: Kerri

Treat: Green Jello (in honor of St. Patrick's Day)
