Hi, this is Glenn, Claudia's husband. She gave me the password to add a new post, but told me she'd change it after I was done so as to not interfere with her artistic privilege...j/k!
Well, we've been trying to be good parents now, especially regarding aspects of teaching Nicky and Ian the gospel and its practices. Well, Nicky somehow has found out how to express more faith and beliefs than we've taught her. She's done great overall, but is very creative and sometimes comes up with things that we haven't taught her. Two examples:
1) Her fear of the dark when she goes to sleep: we didn't know if she was really afraid, or if she was using it as a trick to keep the lights on to read until whenever she wants. It seemed partially true. Well, she came up with more of a catholic-like practice one night, as she repeated her, "Daddy, I'm scared. It's scary," pointing at her dark room. We told her there was no problem. At that point, she saw one of the pass-along cards we have in our bedroom (unused, sorry, elders), and she asked for it. We gave it to her, and noticed it had a picture of Christ on the front. With it in her hand, she said she wasn't scared anymore and went to sleep. In the morning, we found it on her night stand next to her bed, and when we asked her in the morning, she said she wasn't afraid anymore because she had her "Jesus that protects [me]." Now we get to teach about the real meaning of saints. :)
2) This FHE, we were teaching Nicky once again how to share testimony. When it was Nicky's turn, she said, "All right, my testimony is ALL about Jesus. Jesus loves me. Jesus loves you, mommy, and you, daddy, and you, Ian. I love Jesus. Say it. "I love Jesus." Daddy, mommy, say it! Ian, say it! "Jesus loves me!!!" We tried to interrupt her evangelical revival, but she promptly told us "You had your turn already!" Ah, reverene lesson again for next week I guess. :)
