On Sunday morning, Andrew found a Website that allows you to put documentaries in your blog or social networking site. We love documentaries and foreign films (we will spare you the foreign films), so we started looking through the site to find interesting documentaries.
Today in Sunday School we taught our 12-13 year olds about not following the crowd, to be in the world, but not of the world. We had a picture of the First Presidency and the Twelve and told them that this was the crowd to follow. That become the cry for the class. "Follow this crowd." They would laugh and say, "You gotta call it the Prophet's Crowd."
We talked to them about seeking out of the best books, and movies and music. We found this fascinating documentary about a class from a tiny two stoplight town in Tennessee (a huge shoutout to Lezlie and Papa Bagley for the Tennessee roots...Drew has always wanted to visit/abide in Memphis, he heard this rumor it was a great place to raise families).
Anyhow, this class decided to collect one paper clip for every victim of the Holocaust. The story and the film is fantastic.
Andrew tried to visit the Dachau concentration camp near Munich, Germany when his family lived there. Every morning we were in Germany, my family said, "We will go tomorrow." Finally, right before we left Munich, we went to visit Dachau. When we got there they said, "Sorry, Dachau is closed today." We had a great trip to Munich, we visited Oktoberfest, the Olympics, the Neuschwanstein, and we saw like 220 Porsches. But for some reason, missing Dachau was devastating for Drew.
So enjoy this powerful documentary. It captures the Spirit of love and small town America. Two things we freak out love in our family.
