Primary program

Today was our primary program and it was adorable. The theme was I am a Child of God. I always love it when the kids get up in front and sing and take part in the program. It was only our second Sunday. Caleb read a scripture and did fabulous. He has really grown up. Just a few years ago he would have NEVER gotten up there. He didn't act a bit scared. He just bravely got up there and did great. Zachary told them he didn't want to do a part. I think it is because we are new and he isn't ready for that. That is ok. It will come with time. Rachel did fantastic too. She really doesn't have any issues with fear in front of people. Ethan was so adorable. His teacher told me that she would ask Ethan a question and that he was to answer it. SO we worked on it all week. It was easy. She was going to ask, "Ethan, where did we live before we came to earth"? All he had to say was "with God". I knew he could do this but I was wondering if he would get scared and change his mind. But he went up front and acted like no one was even there. He said it very clear. But the funniest part came after he went back to his spot. All the sunbeams were lined up in the front. He looked over at us and kept waving. Then he saw that Mayah was eating something. He said, "Mayah, what are you eating?". He tried to whisper but I could totally hear him plain as could be. Some people were laughing. Then he said, "Mayah, are you eating fish?" Then he asked me if he could come down and sit by me. Now this was all going on during the program. I didn't even care. I thought it was funny. His teacher let him come down. I was so glad. I was wondering how many questions he would ask me during the next 30 minutes of the program.

I love primary songs. The song that is playing on my blog is my favorite primary song now. When the kids sang that I cried. I loved watching my kids sing. I love it that they look at me and smile. They beam and look so proud and you can see their little testimonies growing. I love the primary program. What a great example to be able to go to church each week and talk about spiritual things that help them throughout the week. And then to be able to reinforce it at home is such a blessing for us too. Every night we read the childrens sciptures with pictures. We all sit in Rachel's room in a circle and I hold the book while Zach and Caleb take turns reading each picture. It helps them to understand it a little better. I just hope and pray they will remember all the things they learn and I pray even more that they can take these things into adulthood and stay strong to these true teachings. My greatest fear is having my children fall away from the gospel.

We are truly blessed to have what we have. I couldn't be happier.
