This past Sacrament Meeting was about the "Holy Ghost" with our Bishop Larsen being the last speaker. I felt strongly that I wanted an extended family testimony meeting for my children to listen to my family members and how they have experienced the Holy Ghost. My parents, Dale and I and Jamie all shared some sacred and tender memorable experiences. It was a wonderful feast I felt, and pray my children are blessed and strengthened because of it.
The next night we had FHE with my parents. We sang a song that my parents taught me (and we always sing). Jamie gave a wonderful lesson that was very involved for everyone and everyone gave mini lessons on various subjects of interest. It was a great opportunity for me to take the time to look up something I've been meaning to. My dad then shared his testimony of how he gained a testimony of the Book of Mormon. I hope and pray my children learn from this wise grandpa of theirs. Then we did an activity that we frequently do, we go around and say 1 nice thing we like about everyone else. This was funny, touching, truthful and uplifting and grand with the grandparents there! We closed with a prayer, kneeling and holding hands while my dad spoke and blessed us.
Thank you Mother & Daddy for coming! Thank you Daddy for worthily ordaining Dale a High Priest. Thank you for having the resources and ability to come out here. Thank you for the enriching experience my family has been blessed to have because of you.

Aw...happiness. So glad you had a great visit with your family. The Program is going to be great! And what's Dale's new calling??
That's an ideal FHE. I don't think I'm ever going to get there.
That's awesome! Thanks for sharing! And by the way... The Primary Program was wonderful today. Randy and I were deeply touched by the way you included Katie and we are thankful for all of the love and support that was expressed.
