Maybe it wasn't such a great lesson after all!!

Funny story!! I was in charge of sharing time. I put a lot of effort into preparing a lesson on the atonement and repentance. I used an idea i saw on line. I won't go into all the details but I started by showing a dirty plate and comparing it to sin and how we can be clean (like the clean plate) when we repent. Anyway, I'm all about visuals so thought this would be a great idea to use. So, at dinner tonight Andy asked the kids what they learned at church. Lucy replied, "We learned that Jesus doesn't like us to have dirty dishes." Oh my!!! So much for my great lesson!!

That's funny Amy!! Our P.P. used that idea too--I wonder if the kids learned the same lesson as Lucy!

That's so funny! Once Spencer gave a lesson about Moroni burying the plates. He took the kids outside and showed them how Joseph Smith found the plates. He had a Book of Mormon buried in the rocks and uncovered it. One of the girls in his class went home and told her parents that ancient people buried the scriptures, and then Brother Heaton found them and dug them up! Aren't kids' smart little minds just so incredible?

Amy,
That is so funny!! I'd be curious...did everyone learn that or just Lucy? Remember...Lucy's perspective might be different...she likes a good excuse to have to wash dishes! Our sweet little cleaner :)
