She said they were haveing a lesson on The Holy Ghost and what it was and how it helps our lives. She said that before she realized what she had asked to a group of junior primary kids who probably had no idea what to answer the question came out; Have any of you felt the Holy Ghost in your life? Spencer raised his hand enthusiastically, she said he was just bright eyed and could hardly sit still waiting to be called on. So she called on him. His response was "Well last week my dad wanted to teach me how to ride a two wheeler with out my training wheels on. It was really hard at first but then I got it and (giggle giggle) now I am riding my BIG Brothers old bike...with two wheels. My dad helped me do that." Then she said they all cheered for him and gave him a "mommy" chuckle and she went on to try to show how this story could tie back into the discussion and Spencer blurted out " The Holy Ghost guided my dad to help me learn to ride with two wheels. She was so impressed by his little spirit and his intelligent answer, it floored her and she never imagined such a concept would come from a little five yr old boy. He taught her something today about how much Heavenly Father loves his children.
I am so proud of my boys!!! They teach me so much about the Gospel, he was a little stinker all morning and throughout sacrament meeting. I wonder sometimes if anything gets into his little brain besides how to plot his next naughty move. Then this story and well I am still bawling about it. I love this kid so much and I wouldn't change a thing about him.
This picture was taken the night of his kindergarten concert but I thought it was appropriate for this story. He does not like to get this dressed up on Sundays at all. He prefers play clothes.
