King Benjamin

A little over a month ago, I decided to do a big Family Home Evening.  We sent out some invitations to some friends and asked (connived- by copying his wife on the email) a member of the bishopric to be King Benjamin.

We had all of the families pitch a tent in the backyard and we talked about the significance of pitching our tents with the doors facing the temple.  We "built" a tower (drew bricks on a box) and then King Benjamin arrived.  And he was awesome.  His wife had bought him a costume, complete with a wig, beard and sandals and he taught his sermon from a scroll.

It was one of our most memorable FHEs to date.
