Family Home Evening

We had such a spiritual Family Home Evening the other night. Max had been asking me about why people stand up in a "special" Sacrament Meeting and talk in the microphone. I had found a sharing time about Testimony that I had done while I was serving in Primary that I thought would make a perfect Family Home Evening. So I shared with my children the five things that should be included in a testimony
1) Heavenly Father Lives
2) Jesus Christ is the Savior
3) Joseph Smith was a prophet
4) The Book of Mormon is the word of God
5) There is a living Prophet today
We talked about why it is important to know these things and how we could gain a Testimony of them. Then I asked if any of my boys would like to try bearing their Testimony. Max went first and put in all five parts. Then Mitchel stood in front of his brothers and told them his testimony, adding things that he knew were true. After Mitchel, I thought we were done, but little Mason wanted a turn too. He stood up and repeated what I told him, and seriously, I thought my heart was going to burst out of my chest, it was so sweet and cute! Then I bore my Testimony of these things. I don't think I had ever felt the Spirit so strongly at one of our little Family Home Evenings and I think my children felt it too. It was awesome!
Then Max was in charge of the activity, so we each drew a picture to go with the five things we learned should be in a Testimony. They turned out so cute so we hung them up so that Mike could see them (He had to work late that night and wasn't able to be at our Family Home Evening)
