Family Home Evening

This month we have had some fun family home evenings with the Base Branch members. The first Wednesday of the month we all played dodge ball. The next week we had a scavenger hunt around base. There were four girls so we were all one team and then the men all separated out into 3 other teams. Their pictures were so funny. As you can imagine it was embarrassing for some of the guys to be asking people to take a picture of them while having a group hug, spelling out a word together, or cramming into a small phone booth. The pictures of the guys group are so funny. The girls team won. It was a really fun night. The next week we had fun carving pumpkins and eating pumpkin cookies. This week we played King Mao, which is always funny when playing with Liji. The Elders come to the family home evening activities as well and all of these activities have been firsts for our Korean Elder; Elder Jeong. I think he thinks Americans are pretty weird by now. During the scavenger hunt his group all put blue food coloring in their mouth because one of the things to get was the group with blue tongues. Liji said it took them awhile to take the picture though because everyone time one of them would look at another group member they would just bust up laughing. I’m sure we are helping to create some interesting and good memories for Elder Jeong. He’s a good sport and been a lot of fun to have around.
