The Book of Jacob

For probably a year we have had a rotating chart for FHE.  It is really simple, just 2 paper plates, one with the edges cut off, with a brad in the center holding them together.  There are 4 categories, lesson, song, treat and prayer.  We decided a when we started it that it was something for each of us to look forward to and know who would be in charge of mostly the lesson each week. 

The girls have loved it.  When it is their turn to do the lesson they usually choose a picture from the GAK (gospel art kit) and tell us about the picture.  Or we play a game.  Well yesterday Princess E came home from church and told us that she had the lesson for this week all planned out.  She was holding a stack of papers.  So after dinner was done and we had time before the Home Teachers came we had FHE.  (we often have it on Sundays because Girl Scouts is every other Monday)

She handed out "scripts" to each of us and told us we were going to do a play.  Then she assigned each of us a part.  We then all did a reading of Chapter 7 of the Book of Jacob.  She had highlighted each of the parts in different colors.  After we were done we told her she did a great job with her lesson and how did she get the idea.  She said that they had done it in their class and when it was all over she had asked the other kids if she could have their "scripts" so she could do it for FHE.  She was short one so she went to the library and had another copy made. 

What a smart girl.  King J and I were so impressed that she thought of it all on her own.  A very memorable FHE for sure.
