Savannah loves treasure hunting at the DI with me. (Maybe not this week when we got separated and I heard my name being called over the speaker. Oops! Jer was not happy.) She picked out this lovely neon pony and paid for it with her own money. She loves it!
Now for a little story about the scriptures she is holding. Last Fast Sunday we sat on the second row. After two little boys bore their testimonies, Savannah asked when it would be her turn. I asked her what she would say if she went up there. "I know the church is true. I love the scriptures. And I'll think of some other words." Two seconds later she goes up all by herself! After a few sentences I had to stand up and help her. After the usual I love my family and am thankful for my teacher, I am ready for her to be done. She adds, "I am thankful for the scriptures and I know someday I'll have some of my own because I don't have any yet." Of course I hear laughter from the crowd.
Fast forward to the following Wednesday when we help a lady in the ward get rid of some stuff. In a box of books we find this brand new, still in the plastic, triple combination. Savannah was so excited! She came home and immediately wrote her name on the cover and asked for a bookmark. She asks me to read them and plays like she is reading them to her stuffed animals. What a good lesson for her on bearing her testimony! I think I will just learn that lesson from her instead of trying it out myself:)
