Last night we didn’t do my Repentance lesson for FHE because I’d forgotten that we’d invited the missionaries over to teach the lesson!  They came over to teach us a lesson on the Preach My Gospel book […]

Hey!  I’m trying to figure out how to do a Family Home Evening on this month’s First Presidency Message in the Ensign here.  In it, President Monson tells us that “the three pieces of your treasure map to guide you to eternal happiness” are: “Learn from the past.

I thought I’d lost my FHE plan for the quarter when our web page was lost the second time in January.  But, while I was looking for another document, I came across it in a folder on my computer.  Yay!  Obviously, some of our Family Home Evening lessons haven’t followed the plan since it was […]

Last night Colin did an impromptu Family Home Evening lesson called “God Made Animals.”  He pulled a couple of the kids books off the shelf (it happened to be two Golden Books–Bambi and The Saggy, Baggy Elephant), named each animal picture with the kids, then told them that Heavenly Father made each animal because he […]
