In the Mouths of Babes

A prayer by a 6-year-old:


"Dear Heavenly Father, Please help me remember what I learned in church so when I talk to my brother I don't say things like: stupid, you're dumb, I hate you, idiot, name of Jesus Christ, Amen"

.....Well, at least you got it out of your system....

Best Calling Ever

Yesterday was the first day of my new calling. And as a fact it happens to be the best calling there is, I know, I voted. Now you are curious, what could be better than your calling? Well I will tell you, in fact Jesus will tell you, because......

There is nothing better than those little 3-year-olds. I don't think I stopped laughing the whole time. I actually need to come up with a more discreet way of laughing rather then putting the paper in front of my face. I am lucky enough to be a sun-beam teacher but the fact that I get my mom to be my co-teacher is the jack-pot!

To illistrate I want to tell the following story:

It was my turn to give the lesson which was: "I Can be Kind to Animals" (Trevor thinks it was divine intervention I gave this lesson because I really don't like animals, but that's besides the point). There was an activity in the lesson that we "fish" for animals: I made a fishing pole with a stick, string, and a magnent taped to the end so when they "fished" the paper clip that was attached to the picture of the animal would connect to the magnent and they could pick up each animal.

During primary I had the "fishing pole" propped up against the wall and a little boy names Dane started to play with the magnent. He asked me what it was, I told him it was a surprise and that he would have to wait for class-time. He proceeded to guess, "Is it a Rock?" "No" "Is it a button?" "No" "Is it a diamond?" "No, it's a surprise. Please put it down and you will find out what it is when we go to class."

He then proceeds to play with it, when he let go there happened to be a metal ciruit breaker
box right by his chair, (why anyone would put anything low enough for a 3-year-old to get to, especially in the primary room is beyond me) well, it got close enough to have the reaction magnents are famous for....

with a little snap the magnent attached to the metal and did not pull away. Dane watched all of this and stared at the magnent for a minute before looking up at me with huge wide eyes and a big grin

"IT'S CHOCOLATE!!"



What?!?

And that, my dear friends, is only part of what I have to look forward to every Sunday!

Those of you who have known Trevor in his post-mission years, have been well aware of his necklace.

Now I have always harbored a stereotype for guys that wear necklaces, granted it depends on the kind of necklace.... a man who wears a puka shell necklace is different then the man who wears a gold chain. Nevertheless if the necklace is there....the damage is done.

For as long as I have known Trevor he has worn:
Now I often asked Trev when he was going to give up "the dream" and put away the necklace, but since he acquired the necklace on his mission he has been pretty attached....for nostalgic purposes of course.


Well I would like the world to know, HE HAS DONE IT! The Necklace can now only be found in the drawer full of other things he no longer needs.

And I couldn't be more PROUD!
Aren't I the Luckiest lady in the world to have such a grown-up man?
