So since James has been in primary for awhile he has been learning a lot about the gospel, but he seems to be most interested in Jesus. He is constantly asking me difficult questions about Jesus, where the explanation is hard for his (almost five year old) mind to understand. Questions like, why Jesus died and why doesn't he come to see us. He is really cute about it though. He'll say, "I've got an idea, we go home and go na-night and then Jesus will come and see us tomorrow." How do you tell a five year old that Jesus probably won't be coming to see us tomorrow? He has also started saying in his prayers, "please bless us that we will see Jesus and Heavenly Father."
Because of James' interest, that gets Jordann interested. Sometimes I forget that she is only two and a half. She was saying to me today, after looking at a picture of Jesus in the Book of Mormom, how she wanted to make some cookies for Him and that Jesus really likes cookies. I just had to laugh and agree that Jesus probably really likes cookies.
It's good to know your kids are grasping some elements of the gospel because sometimes I feel very inadequate to the task of teaching the gospel to my children, but my calling in the primary really has helped me in that area.
