Joseph Smith Part 2

This week was a repeat of last week since we were missing three of our boys.  

We started out on the trampoline, did our workout and had them repeat the Pledge of Allegiance and our rules and affirmations.

We then reviewed all of our heroes so far with a quick game, after which the boys tooo turns reviewing what we learned last week (we had focused on his surgery as a 7-year-old, his physical strength and the first vision.). We then added to this with the story of Joseph protecting the plates one night from three attackers.

The boys then “re-enacted” the story on the trampoline (one boys was Joseph Smith and the rest were his attackers.)

Then we did some more stick pulling.

Last, we talked about how Moroni told Joseph he “had a work to do.”  Then we watched President Nelson tell their generation something similar with the following quote (found in the Come Follow Me manual for this week), 

“Ask your Heavenly Father, in the name of Jesus Christ, how He feels about you and your mission here on earth. If you ask with real intent, over time the Spirit will whisper the life-changing truth to you. … I promise you that when you begin to catch even a glimpse of how your Heavenly Father sees you and what He is counting on you to do for Him, your life will never be the same!” (“Becoming True Millennials” [worldwide devotional for young adults, Jan. 10, 2016], broadcasts.ChurchofJesusChrist.org).

Then the boys had a dodge ball/pretend snowball fight upstairs.
