I have to say that FHE has been so awesome with my girls at this age. It's rare that they want US to plan a lesson,because they like to do it all themselves. On Monday, Chris had the lesson plan. It was on how to save money (mainly by keeping lights off and using less water,etc.) and how the girls could help! Well before we even started, Kylie had said that she had planned something for FHE too, so we needed to save some time for her. Chris let her go first, and though she has taught us many a FHE Lessons, I have to say this was the best ever! She brought a gift bag to the Kitchen table, full of secret stuff. One at a time she pulled out a random item and asked "What does this item represent in the gospel?" I was immediately impressed. She started with a candle. The other girls gave their answers and then Kylie talked about how it represents the light of Christ, and now matter how dark it is just that little bit of light helps. Then she pulled out matches and asked what they represent. She said that in order to have that light we need to have something else (the matches) and we talked about what those things would be...Holy Ghost...Keeping the Commandments...Scriptures...etc. Then she lit the candle, turned off the lights and finished pulling other objects out of the bag. She ended with 4 words that she found on blocks around the house. Faith, Hope, Charity, and JOY. It was so awesome. We could have skipped Chris' lesson (no offense Chris) but we didn't. Both lessons were needed. Kylie is such a blessing in our home and such a great teacher to me and her Sisters! She is wonderful BIGGEST SISTER. WE LOVE YOU KYLIE!
