FHE-fishing

Last Monday evening for Family Home Evening we went with our neighbors to a small pond not far from our house and went fishing (all catch and release). Before we went Brent talked to them how Jesus wants us to be "fishers of men," or missionaries. We told them sometimes just like fishing, missionaries have to be very patient and wait for the time to be right before someone is ready to become a member of the gospel and other times it happens very fast.

Waiting patiently.





Kayley probably
waited the longest and was
only able to catch one fish the whole evening.
But her's was one of the biggest catfish.






Cameron caught two fish. His first one (to the left) he wanted nothing to with. We had a hard time getting him to hold the line. The second one he realized it wasn't so bad and would then hold the line.





Cory was our luckiest fisherman. He caught the most (4) and the last one of the evening was the biggest. He reeled in a carp that was probably 4-5 pounds. It was big. (I just wish I could have gotten a picture of it that wasn't all fuzzy.)


Kenzie only caught one as well, but that was enough for her. I loved the picture to the right because it looks like she was talking to it.




Kayley decided that she wanted to bait her own hook. She picked up the chicken liver to put it on, and found the heart as well. GROSS!!! She thought it was so cool. I am wondering who's daughter she is because I would never do that.

What a fun FHE! That's awesome that all the kids were able to catch at least one fish.

By the way, Shawn and I love to use the phrase, "What you doing?"
