Since Christmas we have been working on memorizing one scripture at a time before bed. The last few have kind of gotten mushed up together somehow. Every time we say "Amos, chapter 3, verse..." and let the girls answer, they say "8". Both of them. Then, they do pretty well in the scripture until we get to the end, "he revealeth his secrets unto the least of these my brethren." So funny. I guess they are getting some good concepts, even if they aren't the correct ones.
We did Amos 3:7 along with introducing the pictures of the current apostles and prophets so they would recognize them when they saw them speaking at conference. It worked pretty well, Libby knew them all. But she thought Elder Scott must have cut his mohawk (I guess his picture does look a little like he has a mohawk) and some have aged enough that she couldn't decide who they were. Sarah just loved to point to the pictures on the closet and have us say the "names" again and again. She did learn a few. Anyone she didn't know she would say "Hales."

I agree with the girls. Some of the apostles have aged, but the picture is young. Brother Packer is an excellent example. His pictures in the Ensign must be in his upper 40's or 50's. It is shocking to see him at the pulpit. The Ensign staff really ought to upgrade. Maybe I should have my yearbook pictures in school changed to my early 50's. They look much better than the today ones. (smile, smile)
