What’s in It for You

Mutual Activity

• The article, “A Gathering in Ghana,” is a report of a celebration held at the time the Accra Ghana Temple was dedicated. Have a quiz on the operating temples in the world. Post two world maps on the wall and divide into teams to identify the location of temples. Give hints such as how many temples are in Mexico or in South America and so forth. As an additional hint, post whatever pictures are available with the names of the temples covered.

Service Project Suggestion

• Volunteer to clean up a community park, sports field, school yard, or strip of road. Make the activity fun by giving small prizes for the most unusual piece of trash found, the funniest thing picked up, or the most trash collected by weight or volume or in the fastest time.

Family Home Evening Ideas

• If one of your family members has been assigned to give a talk in church, review the steps to preparing a talk in the Idea List, “Tips for Terrific Talks,” on page 11.

• Read together the article, “Murmuring and Mowing,” on page 8. Talk about what each member of the family does to contribute to everyone’s comfort and well-being. Discuss better ways of giving service within the family.
