After several attempts to start our EPIC Adventure, we finally had our first visitor of the year and were able to introduce our theme for the year. Captain Moroni was just so busy fighting Lamanites that he kept having to delay his visit.
We were excited to finally hear from him about why he was fighting and what he was fighting for. He told us about and showed us the Title of Liberty (Alma 46:12). He then shared with us some food like the kind he would eat when he was soldiering. We had dried beef (jerky), dried fruit (apples), and fresh berries and water from the nearby spring (water cooler).
He got a chance to return home and left all his armor in camp. So we tried it on! It was a bit big on us. But it was fun to wear the armor and hold the sword.
This is going to be a great year when we learn about the founding of this country and the courageous people who defended and championed liberty. Hopefully, we will begin to understand our responsibilities and duties to defend our liberty as well.
Oh man!!!! SO SUPER COOL!!!
ReplyDeleteI just found your blog from Chocolate's and I love it. I love this idea! I have been wanting to do a little more to get my children passionate about our country and the constitution, especially after President Packer's talk in GC this weekend. This sounds awesome. I can't wait to hear more about what you do with this.
