We had one of the sisters in our ward, Sister Pam Jewell, invite us to her house for Family Night tonight. She said she tries to invite one family a month, to get to know everyone, which I thought was an awesome idea!
She took care of everything...we just showed up and helped a bit with the lesson on Prayer. She planned some fun activities: a tag game and painting prayer rocks, and we ended the evening with brownie sundaes! A much better treat than they would have gotten if we'd stayed home.
We had a really great time! Thanks Sister Jewell! It was fun to get to know you better.

How fun...I bet that was a nice break for you Tonya..so sweet of Sister Jewell!
Isn't Pam sweet?! She had my family over a few weeks ago. I so admire her for doing that. She was so sweet to plan a lesson for my little ones. They loved going to her house.
Tonya,
I wasn't sure where else to contact you so I thought I post a comment. My name is Tiffany De Masters and I'm a reporter for the Spectrum. I received a tip from my editor about Scott who rides his bike to save money and gas. I know it's late but I would like to write a story about this. Please contact me if you're still interested.
What a great experience for your whole family. Our ward just had an activity for the adults. We had small dinner parties in groups of ten. It was a lot of fun getting to know ward members better. It makes me more excited to have other members over for dinner. But I like Sister Jewell's family home evening idea to. So many choices...I love it!
That is so neat of Sister Jewell to do that. I sounds like you had a good time with her. I have really enjoyed getting to know you better and I'm really looking forward to camp!! You'll do an awesome job!
