Articles of Faith Sundae

The Articles of Faith Challenge

So when I came in as Primary President I wanted to encourage the kids to memorize the 13 articles of faith. So I bought a giant candy bar and promised everyone who memorized all 13 would get one.

 For Faith in God activity night I designed this little handout. I saw the idea to do a sundae somewhere I can't remember the site, but I did the handout. As the kids passed off articles of faith they were able to receive the below


  
The kids had so much learning the articles of faith, with such an amazingly delicious motivation how could they not. I didn't expect them to memorize all 13 in an hour. So they were all able to make the kind of sundae they wanted. But they will not get the giant candy bar til all 13 are memorized. This was just a motivational activity. It was so much fun.  I thought the nursery was the best calling but I have to say this calling is the best in the world. 
I love these kids so much!!


I love being able to teach them gospel. I want them to remember me when they are teaching their own children, that Sister West helped them memorize the articles of faith with

Kidnapped!!!

Saturday, February 02, 2013 0 Comments
Pacer and I have decided that we want to get to know our nieces and nephews better. So each month we are choosing a family to "Kidnap," and do something fun with them.
–––––Christian & Olivia––––
a date at the McMinnville Aquatic Center

We went to their house and picked them up, they knew only that we were going to take them for a super special surprise. We collected their bags and headed for the pool. They made all sorts of guesses as to what we would be doing, of course they were sooooo wrong. We pulled up to the park and they got really excited thinking that we were taking them to the dragon park. But no when we took them into the swimming pool they were a little indifferent about the idea. But as soon as we got their suits on and jumped in the pool. They changed their minds pretty quick. They had a blast. Pacer especially he's my fishy husband. He would live in the pool if he could. 
We swam for close to 2 hours, then off to shower and change. As one final activity we went to DQ for ice creams. Olivia talked about it for days after…actually she is still talking about how Uncle Pacer & Aunt Jade took them swimming and got ice cream. 

It so much fun to get to know them. They have the cutest personalities. So this month is another one of our family members.
 Stay tuned…
