My Little Stars

Sunday was our ward's primary program and both set of grandparents came to hear Bradock and Raylee sing and give their parts. I loved that this year the kids got to write and memorize their own parts based on their classes' theme. They both did so good and did their parts all by themselves. Bradock's part was "I like to choose the right by exercising and eating healthy food, so I can be strong and powerful like my dad and the Hulk!" No joke he made that up all by himself and he was so cute when he said it. Raylee came up with her part too and she said, "I like to be a good helper and help my mom unload the dishwasher and help her cook." These two just amaze me at their memorizing abilities. They are little sponges and so eager to learn and do what is right. I even had a little speaking part since I teach the Valiant 9 class. I told about one of my first lessons with the class a couple weeks ago and how we were talking about the Savior and the second coming. I asked the kids if Jesus were to come tomorrow what would they do, how would they feel? They responded that they would be happy and excited, but my favorite response was that they couldn't wait to meet Jesus, so they could take a picture with him and post it on Facebook. What a blessing it is to live in a time with such amazing technology and that these young kids are so excited to someday meet their Savior and share it with the world. It is amazing how much I, as a parent and teacher, feel the responsibility to teach my kids and those that I am called to serve and yet I find that I am most often taught by them. It is a humbling feeling and I feel blessed to have these experiences.
