Forever Family

In our new ward I was called to be a Primary Worker -- basically a Primary Teacher. I teach half of the 7 year-olds (there are like 12 of them!) I have 6 cute 7 year-olds and we have a great time!

Today, our lesson was on temples and how families can be together forever. We talked about being sealed in the temple and how that can make us be together after we die. For our activity we made paper chains with each member of our family's name on them and then we each made a chain. While I was showing them how to do it, I did one with my name and Ryan's name on it and made a little chain.

One little girl said, "You don't have any kids?" I said, "Nope." She gave me this strange look like I was insane and said, "Hmm. That's weird." Didn't know I was such an outcast to a 7-year-old! The pressure is starting young!

  1. Lol! That's SUPER cute! Just wait.. the day will come when you're talking to a 6 year old and you start to tell them "When I was a little girl... blah,blah, blah" thinking you said something meaningful to them and at the end of all that.. the cute little 6 year old girl says to you... "YOU were a little girl???" haha! True story. Made me feel SO old!

  2. That's great. At least she's speaking from her heart. A little honesty (and naivety) never hurt.
