During the last Family Home Evening we focused on the third Prophet and President of the Church, John Taylor.
Mattias was kind enough to help us give the lesson. He did a wonderful job introducing us to this courageous man. John Taylor was shot five times in Carthage Jail and lived to record the night that Joseph and Hyrum Smith were shot and killed in cold blood. Later he wrote the powerful, tragic story of that day. This document can be found in D&C 135 and the trials that Joseph Smith suffered prior to his death- can be found in D&C 127.
After the lesson, we played a traditional, crazy game of CRUD. Kathy, our daughter, and Scott, our son-in-law were visiting here from Washington,DC, USA. I have been wanting them to learn this game since we moved here. Thank you for taking the time to teach them how to run around a pool table trying to hit a little ball. I know that there will be many new CRUD players popping up all over Washington, DC when they return with their new skill.
Thank you, also for being such a friendly group. I loved having them meet you all. Now they know some of the things that we share with you in this little basement in Odense. It was an experience they won't forget. It was great to be with you. For those of you who are traveling, and recovering from a month of studying, we miss you all and are looking forward to your return.
