. . . making a matching game for home evening. I printed pictures of the Prophet and apostles, then printed pictures of things associated with them (e.g. an airplane for President Uchtdorf, a gavel for Elder Oaks because he was a judge on the Utah Supreme Court, etc.). It was fun to read short biographies of the Brethren, and learn so many interesting details about their lives--everything from Elder Holland gaining a testimony of the priesthood to Elder Scott putting a train whistle on his parents' car.
. . . hearing a public radio report about an Israeli graphic designer who inadvertently sparked an small anti-war movement, simply by making a poster of himself with his young daughter holding an Israel flag, and adding the message "Iranians, we will never bomb your country. We love you." He posted it on his Facebook page, and soon thousands of other Israelis were asking him to make similar posters with their pictures. He has since started another Facebook page devoted to the posters and the idea behind them. It's appropriately titled Israel-Loves-Iran. While I don't know how much impact the movement will have on government policy, it brings tears to my eyes to see such poignant reminders that, while politicians may demonize each other's regimes, their citizens can still see each other as brothers and sisters in one big family.
