Family Home Evening in Santiago

Elder Griffin and Elder Cuartel introduced us to an amazing family last weekend during the Santiago Stake Conference. They asked if we wanted to accompany them to Family Home Evening on Monday night at the family's home. We were excited to do so. This family consists of a father, mother and 3 or 4 married daughters and their families.

Their home was filled with grandchildren of all ages. They were well behaved and very interested in what was happening. The father conducted the Family Home Evening and taught a great lesson on the 10 Commandments and why God asks us to follow them. This was only his second time to conduct and teach and we were so proud of him. Next we played a silly game that I brought and ate some banana cake with cream cheese frosting that I made for the family. The father said they had never tasted anything like that and I could tell that everyone enjoyed it. It was one of those nights that we will always remember--times like these are what makes missionary work the greatest work on the earth.

                                                    Just look at this beautiful family!

 Elder Griffin did such a great job in helping the father know how to conduct and teach Family Home Evening.
