my little missionary

Tanner drew this today....



It's where he wants to serve a mission someday.   I asked him what the picture was and he responded, "That's me (on the left) teaching the King of China.  That way he can teach all of his people."

And Kate....blesses Tanner everyday in her prayers that, "Tanner will be safe on his mission....when he goes on one".  No one told her to say it.  It's all her.  = )

It's these precious moments that get me through my day sometimes.

So adorable! I love moments like that too, because it is a reassurance to me that just maybe I am doing something right when on a daily basis I feel like I am falling short. I love that you are blogging again, you have such a beauitful family!

So sweet! You never know, by the time he is ready to go on a mission, China could be ready to listen.

Its those little moments that really make a difference in your day. A random question for you...Do you still have the fruit and vegetable storage system that hangs on the wall. Do you remember where you got it. I have been trying to find a solution to store our mounds of produce.

What a wonderful boy you have Lizzie, and sweet little Kate praying for him in her little way. So special. You must be doing something right. They are so precious. Love you

Sophia came home and told me about Tanner's. I was dying... he's such a clever kid. Thinks about the bottom line, just like his dad... I can just here him thinking.... "what's the most EFFICIENT way to teach the people of China?"... it makes perfect sense! I love that kid.
