Best Home Teachers EVER!

Brother Tom Hatch comes prepared with something fun for us every month.  This month it was golden shoes, and he taught us an old-time song called "Golden Slippers."  Last month he played harmonica, and the month before was a mouth harp.  The boys are always excited to see what he'll do next.  He is the cutest man, and so, so funny.


Here's Brother Hatch boxing with Finn.  

And here is the dearest man we know.  Rex Thompson, our neighbor and faithful home teacher.  Each month he comes to give the boys a message.  He sits right down next to them,  looks into their eyes and tells them great stories.  He asks them questions and makes them laugh.  How we love him and feel so lucky that he's our friend.  He's 94 and still going strong!

Rex Thompson was our home teacher too when I was growing up. I loved his stories!
