Journaling Aubrielle's latest

Just some cute little things that I want to remember down the road, so I am putting them here for safe keeping!

Aubrielle was asked to share the scripture in primary yesterday so we helped her memorize D&C 82:10. (Keep in mind this means we never had her read it out of the scriptures, or even look it up in the scriptures for that matter.) When it was time for her to recite it she walked up to the pulpit, grabbed a bible off the display table in front of the pulpit and started flipping through the pages. I was in the back of the room (because she had let me know she wanted to do it all by herself) and when I walked to the pulpit to help her she told me, "I can't find which page it's on!" I wanted to die laughing. But I just quickly pointed on the page and said, "Oh, there it is!" Luckily she believed and then recited her scripture (with a few prompts from me of course). And then she gave the prayer, all by herself! She is definitely one brave little girl.


With the passing of Pres. Gordon B. Hinckley we had a family home evening lesson on prophets and explained to Aubrielle how we already know who the next prophet will be, but how it's important to get a witness for yourself that the calling is truely from the Lord. This morning I let her know that we were going to watch on the computer as they announced who the new prophet will be, as well as the counselors he had called. She then said, "Oh, do you hear that? That's Jesus telling me that President Monson will be the new prophet." Of course I just melted. Isn't is nice to know that your kids really do listen at family home evening?

oh my gosh! I love that. Sometimes I wonder if kennedy is really listening and then she says something that blows my mind and I realize she really does pay attention! Thanks for sharing that.

She continues to make Grandma proud! What a crack up to go and get the scriptures, and say "I can't find the page!" that is SO like HER! I can totally picture her doing the whole thing! Thanks for sharing these sweet moments with us! LOVE YA! Gwama Pam
