Our Living room

We were so excited to be asked to do the Primary Activity Day for the 8-11 year old boys and girls.  We held this activity in our home. We discussed how our talents can help Heavenly Father and others.  Then  I taught them a new song and in turn they are teaching it to the Primary children.  Elder Meyers taught them about tithing and budgeting.  He made some rupees and gave each one of them so many rupees.  Then they had to figure out how much tithing they needed to pay.  They also talked about other bills that their mom and dad might have to pay each month.  When this part was over they were all wishing that the rupees were really real.  We had banana bread and yogurt for a treat and then we played UNO until their parents came.  We enjoyed having all six of the children in our home.  They were wonderful well behaved children. 
One of the spiritual experiences this week was when Steven, an institute student that comes to be taught by himself on Friday because he works during our regular institute class on Saturday, said the closing prayer after we taught him on Friday.  He expressed his gratitude to the Lord for sending us here to Sri Lanka so that we could teach him about the gospel.  The spirit was strong and I had to fight to keep from crying.  Those little things make it all worth while.
