Family Home Evening

DH did our FHE tonight. He had a great idea for helping our li'l darlin's understand how the church hierarchy works. He printed all the pictures of the First Presidency and the Quorum of the Twelve, plus any appropriate titles (i.e. President of the Quorum of the Twelve) and cut each out individually. He arranged all the pictures; First Presidency on top, Quorum underneath and in order. We read the story of when Joseph Smith died, and Brigham took on his appearence and voice. Then we talked about what happens when the Prophet dies. We sent our beloved prophet's picture to heaven (sniff...a few 7 year old tears were shed), desolved the first presidency and put them back in the quorum according to their senority. Then we asked who should be prophet (in all fairness, I had told her last night.) But she got it. Then we discussed who would be the following prophet and so forth. It was great! I love to see those moments of clarity and understanding open up to them, makes all the rough spots worth it.
