I know it's been forever since I last posted anything. So many wonderful and amazing things have happened that I wanted to post, but never got around to it. Life is busy. I keep thinking it will slow down, but then it gets busier. I hope to catch up on some big things soon (cross your fingers), but for now I have to write about one of the most awesome thing that has happened. This one I definitely can't miss.
This afternoon I was sitting in the dining room and overheard Marin in the front room talking to her friend who is not a member of our church and doesn't go to any church right now. I wish I could have recorded what she said. It was so precious. She said to her friend in her sweet little voice, looking at a picture of Jesus that she had cut out of the Friend Magazine and mounted on colored paper, "Do you know who this is? This is Jesus! He died for us. He died on the cross for our sins. Do you know what sins are? It's when we make wrong choices. He died for you, and for your family!"
I couldn't believe my ears! I couldn't have said it better myself. What an awesome little missionary!!!
A couple months ago, we were having dinner at a restaurant and Marin leaned over to tell me a secret. She whispered in my ear, "Do you know what I want to do when I grow up? I want to teach people about Heavenly Father and Jesus." I had no idea she would say that. It was really hard to hold back the tears. I was so touched, and proud! Tonight I told her that she doesn't have to be grown up to teach people about the Gospel because she is already a missionary, a 6 year old missionary. She got a big grin on her face, realizing what she had done. It obviously came easy to her. I am soooo proud!
There is nothing more uplifting and fulfilling to me than sharing the "good news" and watching it change lives like nothing else can.
I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth.
