We Believe...

At church on Sundays Max attends Primary during the second and third hours. It's like a Sunday school for kids where they are taught a lesson in a small class of their age group and are then combined with the rest of the youth from 3-12 years old for singing and sharing time. Every Sunday three kids are chosen to give a short talk (no more than a few minutes; parents help the younger children), recite a scripture or give the closing prayer. Max has already given a talk (last year, we're waiting for another one soon!) and he was chosen a few weeks ago to give a scripture. The specific scripture he was given was the Fourth Article of Faith. It's a fairly long one but Max was determined to memorize and recite it in front of the whole Primary by himself (especially after Seth Rutman did it and he's a whole year younger)! It didn't take more than a day practicing with Tyler to get it down. He did AMAZING!!

He's now intent on memorizing all 13 of them! We'll see how it goes.

But, it doesn't stop there. Apparently while Tyler and Max were practicing, Lia picked up on it, too. Without us knowing she pretty much memorized it all on her own and just busted it out one night. Tyler and I just stared at her and then at each other and then back at her. What 2 1/2 year old memorizes something like that?? And we didn't even help her or prompt her. Watch the video!!



And bless Max's heart, he's so proud of her! I thought maybe he'd feel bad that she learned it, too, but he just loves to brag that she can say it like him. And apparently it's not like we could have stopped her!!
