A letter for my children

My children,

Just hours ago, we obey the recent prophet's teaching to hold our weekly family home evening. It's a wonderful time for us to join together. I enjoy it very much. Now you all fell asleep. I decide to leave some record about tonight here. I believe some day when your English is good enough, you will find your Dad records something for you in this blog area. I hope it can always remind you the wonderful family time we ever had together.

Tonight our theme is to learn to sing a song in the Children's Songbook "I Fell My Savior's love". This is a song we listened from music CD for hundreds of times. But it seems the first time we sing together in our family.

Differing from the past, I invite your Mom to sing it in solo for us. She sing it with full of her heart and it touches me. So I decide it as our opening hymn. I choose myself to be the opening prayer. Only I kneel down before prayer. Maybe it let us feel a little bit different. Just as your Mom's singing, it may also bring our family home evening a better atmosphere.

I am so happy that we can sing the song together, and then I can sing it solo for all of you. Unlike before, I choose to end up our family home evening soon after my solo and make it as short as possible, as I hope we every one can be taught by holy spirit. But not only by your Dad or Mom personally. As I said before Diana gave her closing prayer, I hope you can learn what the song teaches you. To feeling and to understand. May it brings your earthly life blessings.
