i know that Jesus lives.

Chamberlain gave his first talk in Primary today. 
He did awesome!
He did NOT want us to help him, he wanted to do it all on his own.
He had the biggest smile when he walked up to the pulpit.
I thought for sure he was going to turn shy and need help.
He got right up there put his lips smack on the mic and talked clearly and loudly and did it all by himself!  I think its a good thing he practiced here, and Ju Ju dropped by just before we went to church and he was able to practice telling her.
We recorded it after church to post it, however, the sound didn't work. I might, just might, make him give it one more time tomorrow and see if we can get it this time.

Now, we have been asking him all week what he knows about Jesus. 
This is what he came up with.

Jesus was born in a manger

Jesus makes me happy.

Jesus loves it when I share.

Jesus loves when I help my family.

I know that Jesus lives and I know that Jesus loves me.
Amen.

Chamberlain,
We are so proud of you.
You did such a great job today. 
We want you to know that Jesus does love you and that he does live, and that he loves each and everyone of us.
He is pleased when you share and help others.
When you keep his commandments and strive to do what is right, you WILL be happy.
 
We know this is true.
Love,
 Mom and Dad

We also watched the Christmas Devotional, tonight together as a family.  Every time Pres. Uchtdorf mentioned the word Manger, Chamberlain would gladly tell us "Jesus got borned in a manger."  If you watched the Devotional, Manger was mentioned several times and every time whether I thought he was paying attention or not he would repeat this saying.
Its so rewarding to see my children grow and learn and hear their simple yet honest Testimonies.
I am truly blessed.
