Book of Mormon Stories

For Christmas, Ted and Tidus received a set of action figures of the people from the Book of Mormon from Grandma Opfar. Tyler bought a special family Book of Mormon with pictures and study helps in it. The boys and I have been using these to read the scriptures and act out the stories with the little figurines. Today we read about Lehi naming the river and the valley after his sons Laman and Lemuel so we drew out the area they were camping in.

A couple days ago we were acting out the story of Lehi warning the people to repent. The people did not repent and ended up threatening to kill Lehi. Lehi and his family were instructed by Heavenly Father to leave Jerusalem and go into the wilderness because Jerusalem would be destroyed. 

I placed the Lehi toy on top of Ted's rock quarry play set and pretended to preach to the other toys. I told Ted we need to use other figurines to portray the mean people who did not like Lehi or what he was saying. I grabbed a man aiming his bow and arrow and a guy with a sword. Ted grabbed a guy riding a horse. 

Holding up the man with the arrow I said, "Get out of here we don't want to hear what you are saying and we don't like you!"

Holding up the man with the sword I said, "Yeah we hate you. Go away or we will kill you!!!" 

Holding up the man on the horse Ted said, "NEIGHHHH!!" 

Hahahaha. 

Poor Jacob he never even saw it coming...
