Obedience FHE

After General Conference Doug had a great idea for a lesson.
President Thomas S. Monson's talk on Obedience was the focus.

We had the girls watch as he told the story about the fire. And then we discussed it and asked them questions about it. Then we thought about what would have happened if he had been obedient and asked his parents to help him.

Then Doug had prepared chocolate covered marshmallows and chocolate covered onions. He gave them each 3 marshmallows and 1 onion and told them, "If you eat these (mallows) you will really like them, but if you eat this one (onion) it will not be good."

We left them to make their choices. Allie ate the mallows and then sat and stared at the onion (not knowing what it was). She was so obedient but wanted to eat it really bad! Here she is in serious thought about to eat or not to eat.

Katelyn just went for it and ate it right away. Allie's face is so funny. She couldn't believe Katelyn was not following the rules!

She was not too happy about it. We asked her if it was good and she just shook her head and said, "This is really tasty" (which means it's really bad).

 We told Allie she could try it if she wanted to and after seeing what happened to Katelyn she was like, Heck no!
