Pay it Forward

We try to feed the missionaries in our home as often as possible.  Max asked me why the other day and I told him, "because one day you will be a missionary and I will hope someone will feed you.  The only way I can have any influence on that blessing is if I take the time to feed the missionaries now."
Plus the fact that they always bring a good spirit, share cool lessons and, right now, our missionaries are particularly funny.

A few weeks ago they came and shared an object lesson on how Christ's church was set up on a foundation of prophets and apostles, with the priesthood.  They used Jenga blocks to demonstrate.  Then they showed that there were specific principles that were taught, stacking blocks up until we had a full Jenga tower.

Then they demonstrated that when Christ died, (removed that block) the tower still stood because it was still built upon Prophets, Apostles, and Priesthood.  But once those things were removed, then the church couldn't stand anymore.  And the kids got the opportunity to take some of the teachings and build their own churches, to demonstrate the apostacy and how churches were built with partial truths.

Anyway, it was a great lesson the need for the Restoration.  My kids really enjoyed the object lesson and Logan seems to be enthralled with our missionaries right now.  Elder Fox and Elder Lyon.

We enjoy having them in our home (it helps that Elder Fox is a Calgarian) and hanging with them.  It'll be sad when these ones move on.

This week, we got 2 new sister missionaries in our ward.  The Elders are now responsible (mostly) for the YSA in our branch and the sisters are to work with the families.  So I guess we'll have even more opportunities to feed the missionaries.
