Learning to give.

We went to buy a birthday gift for Justin Pantaleon. Nelson was so excited! Rene told him he could get a little toy (4.99) for himself too. After saying that Nelson began looking through the toy store just for himself and decided he did not want the little one anymore. Instead he wanted something that was 19.99-29.99. 

I had already paied for the gift, had to wrapped and we were trying to get both of them out of the store screaming. When we got in the car and Nelson finally calmed down. He said "papi, I'm not going to that birthday party until I get a toy for myself!" He continued to state his position on the matter saying that he wouldn't go without something for himself as well! 

So we informed him that if that's what he wants to do that's fine, but he should just pray about it and think about it. I think he will come around. 

One of the things he really wanted was a fireman costume - memaw already has one for him for Christmas. ;)

This little birdie ....

Emma you're a totally cutie and a sweetie! Recently we were reading before bed when you said that you needed to get in your "nest". I was surprised when you crawled into my lap and made your nest in between my legs! My heart melted! Again this week you were snuggling into your "nest" when you said something about your eggs! My little bird. 

Tickled

Last Friday at family prayer I began talking to Melson about prayer, telling Jesus "I love you", receiving the Holy Ghost, and We talked about speaking in tongues. 

As we talke and prayed he began to giggle and tell me that it tickeled when I said that!

I'm pretty sure he was feeling the presence of God personally. Maybe fore the first time! It was beautiful! 

Later I saw him seriously watching others who were speaking in tongues. It was as if he had more of an understanding. Beautiful! 

Nelson's Prayer.

Tonight we had a bible study at our house. The young guys name is Damien. Papi met him a few weeks ago at Subway and he is hungry for more of God. 

As you and Emma were getting ready to sleep papi was down stairs talking to Damien. I needed to get Emma milk and asked you to pray for Damien to receive the Holy Ghost while I went down stairs. 

When I came back to their room I could hear you whispering your prayer. When I said something about praying for Damien to receive the Holy Ghost you said "I didn't say that". Instead you told me that you prayed for Jesus to send a church card down from the sky. 

The cool thing is I found out Damien had already received the Holy Ghost at his home and he is planning to come to church this Saturday and he is inviting friends!! Thank you for praying baby boy!
