The slaughtered bear - The Price He Paid

This was the bear before he sacrificed his life.
This was the bear after.
Andrew was asked to play Ephraim Hanks for our Stake's Trek Fireside. Andrew mentioned the day before the fireside that he would need a beard, because the amazing brother Ephraim had a beard.

So Sarah and I went to D.I. to see what we could find. We found a big stuffed bear (and a table, but that is another story). We brought it home, and Sarah promptly attached herself to it.


I, being a sensitive Mom, waited until her naptime before the bear was mercilessly slaughtered.


And became Ephraim Hank's beard.


That is the price the bear paid.


I have to say that I do not doubt that Andrew played an awesome Ephraim Hanks. I love that I have a husband that is so willing to do things like that. My favorite role so far, was when he played Mosiah the Elder for our primary. His key prop was a pair of tennis shoes. He wanted to show the children that Mosiah heeded the Lord, and FLED out the the land when he was commanded. No sauntering. More like a run.


May I always be running.
