Family Home Evening at our house
As most of you know John and I are members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The Church is very new in Rwanda and the one branch has grown from 6 to around 60 in the last two years. It’s very exciting for us to be here and to serve in the branch while it is so young. There is a church building being built and we hope to get missionaries in Rwanda soon too!
Last Monday we held a Family Home Evening meeting for the branch. We didn’t expect quite so many to come (about 45) but it was a lot of fun. We split into teams and acted out stories from the Bible and Book of Mormon and had a judging panel.

For the treat we roasted marshmallows on the BBQ that John built for Thanksgiving. I don’t think anyone had seen marshmallows before and so it took some explaining.
Explaining how to roast marshmallows
It was a big hit! The kids loved it especially and it was a good job we had a big bag.
