Relief Society Christmas Party
We had a wonderful Christmas party for the Relief Society sisters. Lina Talataina came up with such a nice program. We started the evening off getting to know each other by sitting next to someone we didn't know very well and had some ice breaker questions to ask. We then had a wonderful dinner of ham and good fixings. Aferwards we heard the song "Silent Night" sung in Samoan, Tongan, Spanish and everyone sang together in English. We then had our White Elephant gift exchange. This year we wrapped up gifts of service. Some sisters received baked goods, homemade blankets and aprons, a lunch or movie date, and babysitting. No one left empty handed. After the game we ended the evening with dessert brought by those who were kind enough to bring it to the party.

Review of FHE & Scripture Study Night
Our Relief Society meeting on FHE and Scripture Study turned out beautifully. We heard wonderful tips and suggestions for teaching little ones during FHE and how to study the scriptures more deeply. We also heard beautiful testimonies of how FHE and personal scripture study has changed their lives. The spirit was present and touched our hearts. Thank you to all who braved the rain and attended this event.
Loine Tauiliili teaches her children to memorize scriptures, articles of faith and primary songs during Family Home Evening. The children love learning and reciting.
Lina Talataina taught the importance of scripture study and how it has helped her through trials.
Lisa Waldvogel gave excellent advice on how to take the stress out of FHE and make it fun for the kids and easy on the parents. She uses the older Gospel Art Kit (the new one is smaller and in a book, Behold Your Little Ones manual, and The Book of Mormon for Latter-Day Saint Families.
Khan Thach was challenged several years ago by her visiting teacher to read the Book of Mormon everyday. Since then she's read it several times. She marks the dates of when she finishes the book and she also marks the dates next to scriptures that speak to her.
