We believe...

Last week in Primary, Carson gave me a paper that said his teacher wanted all the kids to practice saying part of the 1st Article of Faith. He picked it up pretty quickly, so we taught him the whole thing. Sorry, the video is a little dark. He also gets a little...um...serious, when he's concentrating, and may come across as being a little angry. He's really not though! Enjoy...

He has been using a lot of "church" words lately in his vocabulary. Some he has learned from church movies he watches on Sundays, Family Home Evening lessons, and the rest is all learned from Primary. The other night I heard him teaching his dinasaur about the importance of "pepenting" (repenting). The same night he also blessed (in his nightly prayer) that he could be more faithful, and thanked Heavenly Father for letting him go to the gospel. (He asked us what the "gospel" was and we told him it was the church. He now thinks the "gospel" is a place. Hence, "go TO the gospel") He was pretending to be Samuel the Lamanite the other morning, and I pretended to throw arrows at him. I asked him why none of my arrows were hitting him and he replied with a loud booming voice, "Because the Lord is on MY side!" He had to have heard that somewhere before! Last week on the way home from church, he asked me where Jesus died. I told him in a far away land. He asked if it was on a mountain and I told him it was on a hill, which is like a mountain, called Calvary. He then BEGGED me to take him there, telling me that it was a great idea and sounded like a fun trip. I told him it cost too much money, but he insisted that we go anyway, and that he could pay "the man" (I guess the "man" is the one who would take us there) all the money from his piggy bank, and then we could get on a boat and go see the place where Jesus died. What happened to Disneyland, or the beach? No. That would be normal. Not my child. He prefers to go to Israel! He sure keeps us entertained!
