Home Evening and the orange sky.

Last night we had family home evening with the family of Cleofa. We had stop buy the house sunday to take them to church and they were all very sad and upset because one of the older sons had come drunk and started hitting people. They had to call the police and he was put in jail. Any way I told them that we would come back the next day to check up on them and have family home evening with them. It's only been a month since she was baptized, I thought it would help would be a good time to teach them about this. The next day we was alittle apprehensive about going there because of the problem they had had the day earler. When we got there she was waiting with her hair fixed up and a clean dress on and there was sense of anticipation for what was about to happen. It was close to evening and the sky was turning orange and the birds were singing it was like time was standing still. It was very peace-full. We had the elders with us so they started the lesson out with the importance of the family and of course of being married. The elders was hitting them really hard with this knowing that there was a problem in this famly already. I dicided to step in and help them to understand it alittle bit better. I simple told them that that it was a comandment of god and that it was important to teach the children about this principle. In the end the elders ask Cleofa who she would like to give the closing pray and you know what, she offered to do it. It was such a wonderful prayer, she thanked heavenly father for his protection and help with the family, it was wonderful. And this coming for a gal that had a hard time praying before. After this we played a short game and passed out the treats [marshmallo's yum] and the night was done . What a difference a day makes.
