So we've signed up for the Living Scriptures videos, and it has been super fun to see the videos I was raised with through Charlie's eyes. It was so awesome the first time he told me parts of the Nativity: "Mawy is Jesus' mommy. And Mawy and Josf go to Jewuselum. Den the Angel come and say Jesus is born!" Super sweet moment.
Of course, all the moments haven't been that cherubic. Charlie's favorite songs are the two from Nephi and the Brass Plates and Journey to the Promised Land. And it will be like Chinese water torture. He'll sing like three lines from one of the songs over...and over...and over...and over...until I'm about to crack. But the worst part is that I can't freak out on him when he's singing, "I will go and do what the Word (Lord) haf commanded, for I know in my heawt if I twust in him, the Word will prepare da way." Faith of a child is wonderful, and I need to work on my patience to get me from the 178 verse, to the 179.
And of course there are great lessons in there, like when Laman and Lemuel are beating Nephi with a stick Charlie always makes sure to tell me, "Waman and Wemuel are hitting Nephi! We don't hit!"
But today I had a good laugh when Charlie tried to quote Nephi when he said, "Laman and Lemuel are murderers in their hearts!" But it came out, "Waman and Wemuel aw BURGERS in der heawts!"
So we are having a lot of fun seeing what he picks up on and watching him enjoy learning about the scriptures.
He is so cute:) you'll never see that story in the same way
ReplyDeleteHeather, I read your story of Charlie and his watching of the videos. I am sitting in training and it is just what I need to really enjoy myself and refocus.
