Great FHE Game

Well, we had a member of the sixth quorum of the Seventy come for our Stake Conference on Sunday. Indeed he was a great speaker that put the gospel very plainly. I believe that he even helped John and I a lot. But he also gave us a great idea for a Family Home Evening game that we tried out tonight. Apparently he had 6 boys and 2 girls. He told us to do family home evening regularly. He said he understands if we do not see the fruits of keeping this commandment now because he raised six boys. He mentioned that sometimes it was the family fight that started and ended with a prayer, and sometimes his kids listened while hanging upside down over the couches (we get that a lot). Then he said that sometimes they just played Samuel the Lamanite. We tried that tonight and absolutely loved the game. We turned our couch around. One person stood on the back of the couch telling everyone else to repent (that was Samuel the Lamanite). The rest of us stood on the floor and threw pillows at Samuel (we were the wicked Nephites and the pillows were our arrows). Everyone got knocked down as Samuel except John who caught the arrows, threw them back, and knocked over the wicked Nephites (that ended up being a fun pillow fight.). I think this is truly and inspired FHE game. We will try it again!!!!!
