Famly Home Evening with the Canti's

On Monday evening we went out with Elders Ramat and Pennington to a home evening that was planned with the Canti family from the Queenstown ward.  It was a pleasant surprise that met us as we came into the home.  There were at least 20 kids in the room in addition to the family members.  The Canti Family have always invited the children from the neighborhood to join them.

Elder Ramat and Pennington gave a lesson based on CPR.  They had a child pretend that they were injured and almost dead.  Then asked Sister Thomas to show how to administer CRP which she did.  She explained about the heart pumps and the required breaths as part of CPR.  The Elders then talked about the body and the spirit.  They explained that we can used CPR to help fix the body.  They explained that sometimes the spirit gets sick too.  Sometimes it becomes necessary to administer CPR to our spirit.  In this case C stands for Church, P stands for Prayer, and R stands for Reading the scriptures.  It was a good lesson and we had Brother XX to help with the Xhosa translations.

Sister Thomas then arranged for Elder Thomas to show them the dead chicken wrapped up in a towel trick which went down very well.  Brother Canti had to tell the story again in Xhosa and learn how to make the chicken.  A very good Family Home Evening Evening put on by the Elders.
