Josh before he left on his mission!




Ok so I know Josh has been on his mission for a couple of months now. But I am posting this because the kids miss him sooo. Needless to say we are all very proud of Josh. He is currently in his new area in Floriano. He is doing really well! Keep up the good work Elder!
ok funny story for those of you that haven't heard it.
A couple of sunday's ago we I was stuck in the hall for the sacrament, as Ammon insisted on having to go potty during the sacrament hymn. So while sitting there waiting for the sacrament I thought what a good time to talk to my sweet three yr old about why we take the bread and water. So I asked him if he knew why we took the bread... and much to my surprise he said "yes" so I probed and asked why... to which was his quick reply " because its yummy in my belly!" to which I said well yes it probably is good in your tummy but we take it to rememeber Jesus's body. He just nodded. Soon it was time for the water, and I turned and asked him if he knew why we take the water. Again he said "yes!" and I asked why? " Because is gets the bread down!" ( now for those of you who are laughing, I was pretty close to laughing myself)" I responded well it probably does do that also... but we take it to remember Jesus blood, because he gave his life for us. By this point he was probably really confused. But I really did try to explain it so it wasn't complicated. In the end I said that during the sacrament we think of Jesus. I think that was best to end it on. But hey at least I tried!
