Sis. Alligator gets released

**Those who do not attend my church, might be confused by many of the references here.  I put links to explanatory webpages, should you be interested.

So if we have to travel on Sunday (like last week on our way home from our Bear Lake weekend), we find a Sacrament meeting and then drive the rest of the time.  Because we are missing Primary and Sunday School, we do our best to replicate those meetings in the car with the kids.  It passes the time, counts as Family Home Evening for the week and we don’t feel bad about ditching the last two hours of church. 

Here’s the Agenda from last Sunday’s Traveling Primary:

Conducting: Sister Mom

Welcome visitors/new members to Primary:  Faith

Recognize Birthdays:  Seth (real birthday is 8/28 but asks us EVERY DAY if his birthday is “tomorrow”…I even found a pencil to hand to him, as his Primary present)

Scripture:  Jane (“I will go and do the things…”)

Prayer:  Seth

Talk:  Emma (read story from The Friend and discussed)

Sharing Time:  Sister Man, who used the Sharing Time lesson in The Friend, and did a very good job.

Singing Time:  Sis Alligator …and this is where it all broke down.

After many efforts to wrangle giggly kids (and allow Seth to sing his sobbing solo of “I Lived in Heaven”), we finished singing time and proceeded to the..

Closing Prayer: Gabe

Don’t hurt yourself in your rush to get your records transferred to our “ward”…our van only seats 7.
