Monday FHE

Last semester when ld had BYU students coming to our house once a month for FHE we discussed the possibility of putting together about 4 ready made home evenings. This is because we had on a couple of occasions been burned by, how shall I put it kindly, some of their unbelievable lack of preparation, as in reading one tiny scripture and then calling it a lesson.

We all sat around staring at each other awkwardly after that. So, being the supportive spouse, I put together a little computer file of ready made, on the spot, what to do in a pinch Home Evenings. As we never wanted that to happen again. Anyhoo, here is a little recipe/activity that I thought might be fun. Granted, we never used it for that group, but I had done it way back in the day when I was a student. I’m sharin’, just in case you need it in a pinch.
