I gave each girl a bowl of ice cream. I put out the toppings that are usually not used for ice cream, but were good when used as toppings on other things and asked the girls to come up and choose their toppings so that they could eat their ice cream while I taught the lesson. Hopefully no one wanted any of the things on their ice cream and just…

And if it seem evil unto you to serve the Lord, choose ye this day whom ye will serve…but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord. (Joshua 24:15) Take some tape (duct tape or masking tape) and make a very large “V” on the ground. On one piece of tape, write “Heavenly Father”. On the other, write “Satan”.

Set trap on table. Have a girl set it off with a pencil. Offer her the stubby one and the long one. The pencil shatters. Next, set trap on floor. Ask for volunteer to walk by it.

Here are some legos and right on front is a picture of what you can build with these. Do I have to build exactly what is here? Can’t I choose to make any design that I can imagine? In fact, there are lots of different choices of really fun things that I can make with just these few blocks. If your friend makes a rude comment or does something mean…

I take an old, well worn shoe and talk about how useful and comfortable the shoe is. It’s a good shoe. I have worked and walked and jogged many miles in this shoe. They protect my feet from thorns and rocks and glass. At first, they pinched when I wore them, but now I look forward to putting them on. The commandments are like this shoe. They may not always…
