The Iron Rod

The whole family gathered on Sunday at grandma's and grandpa's house to have a Family Home Evening. Kasey had the lesson and talked about Lehi's Dream and the Iron Rod. She read the story to us and then had the kids go outside and do a little obstacle course to try and make it to the Tree of Life and get the Fruit. The kids had a good time and really grasped the concept of holding onto the rod for help to get safely to the tree. Julia kept trying to peek from underneath her blindfold but got use to it after awhile.



It was cute to see Layne out there helping all the kids along the way....just like Heavenly Father gives us helps along the way! At the end they finally reached the tree and got to partake of the fruit. Ever since Sunday Julia has been saying " I eat the fruit mommy, it makes me happy."

"Hold to the rod, the iron rod; Tis strong and bright and true.

The iron rod is the word of God; Twill safely guide us through."
