His Book of Mormon

Today J's primary teacher Sis. M gave him an already-cherished gift--a military copy of the Book of Mormon. J is so excited about it that he practically held onto it from the time we left church at noon until bedtime. This afternoon he asked me if he could take a picture of it. Then he wanted me to take a picture of him holding it--he took off his red sweater vest with the expressed intent to look more like a missionary.
Then he wanted me take a photo of him "being" a missionary. And don't worry, he noticed that he didn't have a companion and assured me that it was OK. Here he is reading from Alma 16 if I remember correctly.
He later spent 10 minutes reading with D for the fun of it. So for all you primary teachers out there, those small copies are powerful things in the hand of a four-year old--Sis. M is changing lives.

P.S. Our twins arrive tomorrow at noon! We'll keep you posted with pictures and details as we're available to do so.

What a wonderful thing for a mommy to see. All of my kids have now been given full set of scriptures and scripture bags from their primary teachers (we have an amazing primary) and they love them.

Okay--I feel so clueless. I had no idea that it was already time! I hope that it went well.

Thinking of you,

Holy snap! TWINS?! I so need to start reading everybody's blogs! Congratulations and be safe!

Ha, you offering to be Niko's nanny at the funeral was super sweet. I think his obsession with barcodes kind of weirded out the nursery leader that we parked him with.
