A couple of weeks ago we did a couple of FHE lessons on missionary work to get our kids excited about it. Avery thinks going on a mission would be scary, but we really want him to know that it won't be! We've been better about writing Brian's sister Alycen on her mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and encouraging our kids that they all can go on missions when they get older.
For one of our family home evenings, we talked about a typical missionary's day, such as getting up early, getting ready, studying, going out to serve and preach, etc. It was fun to learn about and then we had a fun relay race where the kids had to "do" all the missionary things.
They had to race and look up a scripture (for scripture study), race to put on clothes (a dress and high heels for lily and a shirt/tie and Brian's shoes for Avery), brush hair and get make-up on if applicable, put name tag on and then carrying scriptures run down the hallway and knock on the closet door. We all had a fun time with this game. And we had some pretty cute little missionaries as well.
