Today I was able to go to my parents ward and I ditched Sunday School for Primary (They have singing time, what's not to love?). The lesson today was about Baptism. To start off the lesson the teacher asked the kids what they knew about baptism. My favorite answer was "It washes all the bugs away". Later she had an object lesson. She asked the kids what they did that they know they should not do and for each thing she put more dirt onto her hand (to later immerse in the water and wash it away) here is some of that conversation...
Her: What do we sometimes do that our parents ask us not to do?
Kid 1: Slapping people in the face.
Kid 2: When I want to slap someone I just grab a pillow.
Kid 3: My parents told me not to pinch anyone.
Kid 4: Unless you are not wearing green!

I am so thankful for children and the humor that they bring to my life! I am also grateful for my earthly father and my Heavenly Father! Happy Father's Day!

Today I saw one of the students from my fifth grade practicum... It was great! He came up and gave me a hug and then was talking to me for a few minutes. It made me smile when we had this little exchange concerning my internship:

Him: Miss. Fiso, they should have hired you at our school. All of the fifth grade teachers are leaving and you could do it.
Me: Well, they didn't and that can't be changed.
Him: I should have talked to the principal. (He said it with complete confidence that the principal would have listened to him. It was great!)

I am grateful for the accessibility Gospel. I am grateful for the knowledge that I don't have to be perfect and I don't have to know everything. The truths of the gospel are shared each Sunday in a way that allows me to learn from others what I need to learn. I am not expected to know everything I can learn as I grow and I can learn in layers. I learn what is important for me at the moment and those ideas can be strengthened over time. I love this church and I am thankful for it in my life.

I am grateful for the knowledge that I have of who I am. I am grateful for a Father in Heaven who takes the time to listen to my worries and helps me to solve my problems... Happy Sunday!
