Honesty

Since today was a make-up day for our Noche de Hogar I felt the urge (laziness) to keep it light. I knew that Honesty had to be the topic. We have had a problem at the house where Nati and Andrei are starting to think that blatantly lying is acceptable. I mean seriously, they will do something in front of our faces and deny it! lol

Himno: Sigue al Profeta

Andrei dio la primera oracion y oro para que nuestro Padre Celestial ayudara a su mama y a Adrian para que se sintieran mejor. They where both feeling a lil down and it seems to have helped.

Natalia dio el pensamiento. We recently got her a real nice and cute Bible so she wanted to read a scripture from there. She read:

Psalms 19:7- The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple.

After pensamiento we played a quick game called "2 truths and a lie". The game is that each person has to say 2 truths about themselves and one lie. the others have to guess which is the lie. We played a few rounds. With this game i was able to show them that they knew the difference between the truth and a lie. I told them that honesty was important. I didn't want to bash them over the head with the idea of honesty since this wasn't a time to make them feel bad. I wanted to show them examples of dishonesty. I showed them a short video on youtube called "The boy who cried wolf"



after the video discussed why lying was bad and the consequences of lying.

As our last activity we watched The Cat in the Hat Knows a Lot About That! It was a cool lil movie because the Cat in the Hat talked alot about science stuff. He rhymes everything too, if the Cat in the Hat was a rapper he would be up there with Jay Z and Eminem haha

Natalia gave the closing prayer. We had a great time tonight just relaxing and enjoying each others company. I want to find out more cool things in regards to honesty since it is a broad topic. Its more than just lying.
