My FHE lesson was drawn from a story related in October 1977 General Conference by Elder Bangerter about when Spencer Kimball became president of the church. He said that most church leaders and members didn't expect much of President Kimball because of his age and poor health. However, at at one of his first major public talks, to the Regional Representatives of the church in April 1974, President Kimball knocked the socks off everyone with great vision of what the church needed to do. President Benson afterward arose and said "surely there is a prophet in Israel!" President Kimball went on to over a decade of inspired leadership. I then applied this story to our lives, that the Lord can help us in any calling or assignment to do more than we or anyone else would expect. There were about half a dozen kids there, and they seemed to be listening intently, so hopefully my lesson touched home with some of them.
My wife worked all afternoon on some cinnamon popcorn for FHE dessert, but had some problems getting enough of it to come out right, so she supplemented that with some cookies and Nutella, all of which were very well received after the lesson.
