Dinner Party and Government Study Group

This Saturday, January 12th, will be our first Dinner Party and Government Study Group meeting. I sent out an email to two of the homeschool groups that I belong to to see if there was any interest in something like this. The response was great. I had 7 people respond with interest in coming and 5 of those interested are going to be able to make it with their husbands on Saturday. I am really excited. We are starting off by reading:

Elder Ezra Taft Benson's October 1966 General Conference Address:
Called something like "Protecting Freedom-An Immediate Responsibility" (it is called different things different places)

and
This President Benson devotional address was given at Brigham Young University on 16 September 1986"
"The Constitution--A Heavenly Banner"

These are amazing talks that really speak clearly about what our government was meant to be. I can hardly wait to discuss them with this group on Saturday.
