Rich's Impromptu Family Home Evening

Rich and I decided that it was his turn to teach the lesson tonight, but we didn't decide until supper. Though, he only had a very short time to plan, he came up with a hit. He had the kids dress up, and they acted out the story of Samuel the Lamanite (Brooke pretending to be Samuel and Rich and Braden pretending to be the Nephites trying to stone and kill Samuel). Brooke, a.k.a. Samuel, stood on the wall, a.k.a. changing table, and told the sinning Nephites to repent, "Stop being mean Nephites, Jesus doesn't like that!" Then the sinning Nephites, a.k.a. Rich and Braden, tried to stone her and shoot her with arrows, but as the story goes Samuel was protected and could not be harmed. It was very entertaining, the kids learned a lot, and it was a great photo op.
