The night began with a wonderful lesson given by Brandy Moncur. She taught us about the gifts the Savior has given us to help us enjoy the Sabbath day. Each person was given a gift that represented a gift from the Savior to help us prepare our selves for church and enjoy the wonderful sabbath.
Here is everyone opening there gift.
It was a great idea and gave the chance for the sisters to share some ideas of what they do in there homes. Some of the ideas included:writing letters, or notes to loved ones or missionaries, scrapbooking, journaling, Young Womens Personal Progress, Cubscout or Boyscout badges, cooking, perfecting hobbies, family walks, reading scriptures, enjoying music, practicing instruments, singing, preparing ourselves for our Sunday lessons. There were many ideas shared. Thanks Brandy for helping us remember how we can use our time more wisely on the sabbath.
