So this is post is going to be backwards cause we’re going to talk about today first, and then cover the rest of the Utah trip. First of all, at FHE Tonya had prepared the coolest lesson. We read out of Preach My Gospel in chapter 2 where it talks about studying more effectively. Tonya had realized that almost ever sentence had a kind of “commandment/promise” sequence. For example, if you study you will have the spirit. We made a list of things we can do in our study–both personal and together–and then the promised blessings. It was pretty cool and I asked if I could hang it up on the wall in front of my desk. I’m so happy to be married to such an insightful person.
Then came the FHE activity. This is a trick I learned from my brother Warren and his wife Micah. She has been in girl scouts forever and apparently they did this with the girl scout thin mint cookies, but we did it with grasshopper cookies tonight. It’s a five step process.
Step One
Choose a cookie
Step Two
Bit off one end of the cookie
Step Three
Bite off a piece from the opposite end of the cookie
Step Four
Suck milk through the cookie and use it like a straw
Step Five
Eat cookie. Try it and let us know what you think.
