Nephi Night

Tonight for FHE we had a little interactive lesson about Nephi & the brass plates. After talking about the story together, we set the stage. The evil & drunken Laban (we called him the King to make it easier), played to a tee by Daddy, fell asleep on the coffee table. Then brave Nephi (Emma, of course) came upon the King, took his sword, and slayed him on his tummy! Yay for Nephi!

Then she put on the King's clothes, and went to see the "book keeper", played by Mommy, where she proudly delivered her line:

"I am the King. I need the plates." (said in her very most tough, serious voice) And since she had the King's clothes & the King's sword, the book keeper gave her the plates & she happily carried them off, a job well done!

I think she'd make a pretty good Book of Mormon prophet, don't you? Very commanding & intimidating presence. :)
