The object lesson is done by taking three eggs - a normal one, hard-boiled one, and then an empty one. You can draw faces and dress up each one. Then you talk about them. Eggna (empty egg) never goes to church, she seldom prays..... Eggatha (hard-boiled) used to go to church but now sleeps in, she is too busy for... Eggbert (normal egg) he goes to church and tries really hard to listen and learn, he prays and keeps the commandments...
Then you open the eggs to see what is inside. Eggna is empty because she didn't put anything inside of her, she has nothing inside.... Eggatha had the principles inside her to build a testimony but stopped doing them and turned hard inside...Eggbert is usable. He is in a natural state and can be used in any number of recipes. The Lord can use you for good because you have a healthy and strong testimony....
Kaylee said, "The yolk is like the light within us..." I love that girl!
Anyway, we then talked about how to build a testimony and how you can have a testimony of so many different aspects of the gospel. Stephen then challenged the kids to share their testimonies on the next fast Sunday. It was a fun lesson!
