Family Home Evening

Last night was Benjamen's turn to teach FHE. He needed to teach the 1st Vision to pass off for his Faith in God book, so that is what he was planning on doing. The whole week prior to last night I would ask him if he needed any help planning or preparing and he kept saying no. I never once saw him doing any sort of preparation and so I was getting a little nervous come Sunday. But again, when I asked him if I could help him, he said he had it all ready. Last night we had the nice treat of having some cousins over and my parents to join us. We don't typically have guests, so it was nice to have a few extra people join us. I have to tell you I was sooooooooo impressed! I was having to hold back the tears as my 8 year old told of what happened to Joseph Smith. He had a video clip for us to watch, but before he played it, he asked if anyone had any questions. Of course all the little kids had 3 questions each, and I watched him answer each one with patience, kindness and accuracy:) Afterwards, he bore his testimony of the truthfulness of what happened so many years ago. It is so nice to have these moments every now and then to let us know we are doing okay:)
