funny things that you say

Adam you saya the funnist things. A while back when we were on vacation you and zachary were taking a bath and found my razor. ya'll were curious and wanted to play with it and I wanting to protect you took it away and explained what it was for. I told you that girls had hair on their legs and shave it off with this tool.
Weeks pass and at random you ask to feel the hair on my legs. So I let you feel the less than smooth surface of my calf and you with a discusseded look on your face exclaimed "mom you need to cut that off!" Thanks Adam I'll be sure to do that.

You are a gentelman. You hold the door for me and tell me that I smell like flowers. You work hard to please me and do what is right.

Today you sat for a while and helped me make santa sandwiches by spreading peanut butter on crackers. You really did a good job too. I love those simple moments with you and your brother.

This morning you were looking incredibly handsome in your new suit and blue shirt. I was exploding with pride as I was doing your hair. It made me so happy when you told me that you thought you looked like a missionary. We talked about your uncle Kevin who is a missionary right now and then we talked about what missionaries teach. You were so shocked to hear that people don't know about Jesus Christ and about Heavenly Father. You were openly concerned for these people. On the way to church we continued our talke about what missionaries teach. I told you about the plan of salvation. How Heavenly father made a plan for us to return to him and to become clean that Christ was like the soap and that by having faith in Jesus we can clean off our mistakes. You and Zachary were listening and taking it all in. Your comments were..."yeah and I'll be like a hero and fight the bad guys." Then I told you that there is a bad guy and his name is Saten. You guys got into this and related it to the Teenage Mutant Nija Turtles. "We are a team and we are brothers." were the words that you said a couple of times. I told you that there is a way to get special powers to fight Saten and that is by praying, and reading the scriptures.
I never thought that TMNT would be a teaching tool for the plan of Salvation but I'm glad that you were able to liken the gospel of Jesus Christ unto your self.

Adam you are good boy and a really good leader. I see you taking care of your little brother and I see that you are making ready to take on the added responsibility of your brother that is on his way.

xoxo,

Love your Mom
