June FHE

June FHE was once again a success. We did notice the absence of Blain, but know he is doing great on his mission. Grandma Thomas made enchiladas and taco fixings. I don't know if we are just really hungry, being it fast Sunday, but the food is always great and something we look forward to.

Lance and Kelly were in charge of the lesson where we talked about the creation. We first divided into groups of 2 or 3, after which we were handed a blank piece of paper that had a scripture from the book of Genesis. We were to look the scripture up and decide which day of the creation our scripture talked about and what was created. We then used pens and crayons to draw something that depicted that day. The highlight was when we took turns going around sharing our drawing. So here is the summary of what we learned.

Cole's Group had Day 1
This is where Heaven and Earth was divided
as well as light and dark.
We thought Cole's red moon was ominous and
perhaps he had been reading to much in the
Book of Isaiah. Good job Group 1.

Day 2 was done by Ashley and Courtney.
After figuring out what a firmament was.
They showed their interpretation of what
happened on Day 3 of the creation.

Kelly displayed the
artwork for Day 3.
Grass and Seed was the highlight of
this day. We loved the color and depth
of this drawing. Thanks Kelli.

Megan and her group headed up Day 4. This is where
the Light and the Day were created. The greater light
ruled the day. The lesser night ruled the night.
Great pictures!

Coty and Mark took the first half of Day 5.
This is where the creatures of the sea were
made as well as the fowl in the air. And they
were told to multiply and God saw that it
was good. That must be why Coty is so
enthusiastic.

Sidney and Lorri took the second half
of Day 5. We enjoyed drawing a cow
and creeping things. Some of us had
more fun with the whole creeping thing
than others of our group. But it was also good.

A couple of our younger artists,
Nathan and Jack showed us what happened
on the 6th Day God created man and woman.
Love the pictures!

Now Grandma and Grandpa took Day 7. I guess
there was a difference in opinion on what happened
so we showed each person's interpretation.

As you can see, Grandpa showed that after
the earth, animals and people were created,
God was tired and took a nap (at the bottom
of the page). So this is our day of rest.

Grandma on the other hand, believed that God
rested and had more of a Ahhh feeling than
a ZZZZZZZ feeling. So you read Genesis and let
us know what you think.

Grandma and Grandpa had refreshments and
treated us to chocolate bunt cake (if you
know the Thomas' you always need at least
a little something chocolate) and what Grandma
called Pig Lickin cake. Which was kind of a
pineapply concoction which was tasty.

So another successful FHE done for June!
