Family Night Week 6: Temples

In keeping with our theme for the month, we talked about one of Pres. Monson's talks from the April 2015 General Conference.  We had a super-short family night tonight, because we were trying to get Jeremy to bed for a couple hours before having to go in to work.  He is having a hard time staying on a graveyard shift schedule this time around.  He slept all night last night, which meant he wasn't tired enough to sleep during the day.  Which means he is going in for work all night with only about 4.5 hours of day sleep today.  It'll be a rough night...  Only 2 more weeks of this, at least this time around.

The Blessings of Temples

Opening Song: "I Love to See the Temple"

Scripture:  Doctrine & Covenants 21:4-5:  "Wherefore...thou shalt give heed unto all [the Prophet's] words and commandments which he shall give unto you as he receiveth them, walking in all holiness before me; For his word ye shall receive as if from mine own mouth, in all patience and faith."

Lesson:  We read a couple excerpts from this talk by Pres. Monson. 

Activity:  We looked at some pictures of different Temples as well as a pop up book with Temples. 

Treat:  White chocolate popcorn.  Which wasn't as awesome as I'd hoped it would be (used margarine instead of butter and that was a mistake).  Plus Lynnaea didn't eat her dinner, so she didn't get any tonight.  I saved her some for tomorrow.  Sometimes it's hard to be a parent :(.
