What Witchalina is leaving tonight!

Here is an example of what Witchalina leaves when she comes. There is a paper with the start of the poem in the pocket of the quilt, then we look up each scripture to find the next clue to eventually find the treat!

The Skeleton at the Cemetery

From atop his tombstone perch,
The skeleton saw barren land—
“My cemetery needs to be green to
Look magnificent and grand!”

He planted lots of grass seeds,
Then ignored the yard as before;
Weeding he found such a bother
And watering a time wasting bore.

His results were disappointing.
“What went wrong?” he angrily screamed.
“My neglect proved a disaster!
The garden is not like I dreamed!”

Galations 6:7
(When you open to this scripture Witchalina has left another paper with the words below)

“I will change my ways right now!”
He resolutely decided.
Good habits were quickly started
And wrong one promptly righted.

He set his mind to do it.
His determination was right.
He planted, tilled and watered,
And weeded with all his might!

With constant daily attention
His cemetery began to bloom,
And the beauty could be seen
Around every single tomb.

D&C 6:33
(When you open to this scripture Witchalina has left another paper with the words below)

Just like the skeleton’s garden,
Take care and don’t neglect
To live the Gospel’s standards—
Which will increase your self-respect.

If you study the scriptures daily,
Your testimony will grow.
Faith will bring you knowledge,
And the truth you’ll definitely know.

To see some positive results,
Put your faith to Alma’s test.
As your testimony increases,
You’ll reap like’s finest and best.

Alma 32:27-28
(When you open to this scripture Witchalina has left another paper with the words below)

Remember:
Faith is the strengthening power
That urges you on your way
And teaches you what you should know
And increases your desire to obey.

Faith is really the power within
Given as a gift from God
That lights the road you should take
And points the way back to God.

Look for your treat in the DARK dryer!
(the treat for tonight is light sticks and little plastic skeletons)

That sounds like a great FHE to me. Or did you do it just for fun?
