FHE with the Rosanders

There is this great couple in our ward named Kris and Lindsay Rosander. We met them the very first Sunday we moved in and Lindsay was so friendly to point out where Relief Society was and chat and make us feel all welcome. Since then she has always consistently gone out of her way to say hi to us and catch up on life every time we see her. Not to mention, she and Kris are an incredibly impressive couple in how they interact with others and how quick they both are to serve. They have two adorable little girls and I've watched them lots of times in Sacrament. They both are so patient and loving and point to the things that are going on and teach their children about the deacons passing the sacrament or the speakers or whatever else. What great parents.

We've been talking about hanging out with them forever and finally we found a day that worked for all of us. The Rosanders were so nice to host us and they made a delicious dinner (breakfast food! my favorite! Also, Lindsay, I'm going to need you to write down that syrup recipe... I've been craving it ever since!) and then had a great Family Home Evening lesson about the plan of salvation that even their two-year-old Molly helped with. Adam and I were both impressed at how they engaged her and made the lesson something that was age-appropriate for their family. We took notes so we can be just as great when we have little kids.

My favorite part of the night was when Molly gestured with an open palm sweeping motion to Adam and I and told her parents, "These are my friends." Yes! We have a friend! Ah, it was adorable. I want to go back and be her friend more often. I know Adam had a lot of fun hiding from her and then tickling her when she found him. Maybe the Rosanders will let us borrow her sometimes. What a fun night with great friends.
