The Tripod of Truth

Here in Utah, all church has been cancelled along with all school and any other large gatherings in an effort to minimize Covid-19 from spreading further. So today we had church at home and I have to say it was really enjoyable. We had an opening hymn (our teenage son played the piano), a prayer, a sacrament hymn, the sacrament, and then we had everybody read an article from a church magazine and share it with us. We sang a closing song and had a closing prayer.

We had a treat--apple cranberry pie--and then we moved into our Come Follow Me lesson. We decided to make it pretty interactive (better class retention) so we contructed a Tripod of Truth with Jacob 4:8 being our jumping-off scripture.

Each leg of the tripod is a way that we can recognize revelation from God: in our heart, in our mind, and by the fruits. We all looked up a scripture related to knowing what is of God. We wrapped up with this final scripture: Moroni 7:16. Everything good is of God so if something leads you to do good, it is from God.

Bruce and Michelle organized the activities and did a good job. I enjoyed myself! Hopefully lots of other people did too. We showed up on Wednesday afternoon and enjoyed a taco salad dinner, served by Neil and Kristie's family. We also worked on two mixer games: a word search with the names of all 100 Hansen family members as well as a Bingo card that involved finding people with different attributes like recent high school graduation, birthdays in certain months, etc. The word search was definitely the most popular. Also popular was playing Nine-Square and Sandy Pickle (a cross between pickle ball and badminton). Thys and Katrina might have won! After dinner, we had an FHE activity/lesson. Liz had made a book with stories of the first ancestors to join the church. She had selected different stories for us to act out in g...
