Our kids built a rope swing in the backyard. It's great fun. They sit on a piece of wood, hoist themselves up with the rope and swing back and forth.
Sofi went on a mini-mission this week. In our stake, teenagers 16 and older can spend 24 hours with the full time missionaries to get a sense of what a mission is like. Our sisters picked Sofi up after school on Friday in their zippy red car. They stopped by briefly Saturday morning so Sofi could pick up work shoes for a service project.
Sofi enjoyed her mini mission very much. She helped give out food at a food pantry and raked leaves for 2 ½ hours. She participated in 4 lessons. She enjoyed the missionaries' simple food like bread and cheese for lunch. A couple of adjustments: no books to read when Sofi is used to having a book available at all times. Also, she was surprised how frequently the sisters prayed. Besides the regular prayer times, they prayed before leaving their apartment, before leaving their car, before getting on facebook, with the investigators, pretty much all day long.
Today was our Primary sacrament meeting program. Abe, Helen and Gibson all did a great job. Gib and Helen had their parts memorized and spoke clearly and evenly. Abe wrote his own part about participating at the stake day of service. Helen played an introduction to the song "The Family is of God" on the violin. This photo is from the practice Friday night.
