The show

Elijah and the priests of Baal is one of the most awesome stories in the Old Testament. I love his trash talking, and when the time comes for his turn, he totally crushes it!*

For those who may argue that the real original fireworks show was Sodom and Gomorrah, I would point out that there wasn't anyone who actually watched that. Except for Lot's wife. And she wasn't a big fan. In fact, she was kind of salty about it.

*It may also be argued that this was the first example of a fireside. The jury is still out on that one.
 

Small voices

Sometimes Primary is the most spiritual when it's the loudest.
 

That's the spirit!

If anyone experienced that "mighty change of heart," it had to be Ebenezer Scrooge. And what's the next logical step? Sharing the joy — and sharing the joy with your ancestors!

Interestingly, A Christmas Carol — and, hence, Scrooge’s “turn of heart” — was written in 1843, just a few years after Elijah appeared in the Kirkland Temple. Coincidence?
 

Stadium of fire

You may say, what about Sodom and Gomorrah? There may have been fireworks, but only Lot's wife saw the show — and she was kind of salty about it!
 

Bringing the heat

This is what happens when our stake's Girl's Camp coincides with our Come, Follow Me study of Elijah.

In my experience, Girl's Camp usually has great food. It's what is on the Young Men's menu you have to worry about!
 

I loveth it!

I can't imagine that the menu Elijah had to choose from was great, but there was probably comfort in knowing that he'd get fed. 
 

Light the World: Together Time

For Light the World today, the suggestion is to gather as many family members as you can online for a virtual hangout. 

For our family, we often get everyone together to play Among Us, since it's easy for the littles and not too difficult for the older people either.

What if you don't have family you can virtually gather with? A perfectly valid option is to go online and do some family history work! What a great way to bring family members together on both sides!

Did someone mention the spirit of Elijah?

Elijah rocks!

This was part of our Sunday school lesson on Sunday. It's one of the best stories of the Old Testament!

We also showed a cool video about Elijah and the widow of Zarephath —and discussed how it was a good example of how to ministering.

Elijah rocks!
