baptism


ok, so i have a few minutes before our book-keeper gets here to help me cook the books,ha ha, so i thought i would share with you a conversation i had with eli last night while i was putting him in bed.

when we left to go to bed, cj was watching LOST and as we got into bed, eli said, LOST is dads favourite show, i said ya... then he started talking about when the baby got baptized... SOMEHOW eli must have seen the LOST episode where the baby aaron gets baptized, he talked about the baby, then he slapped my face (like how the australian lady did to the hobbit), then he talked about how the hobbit fell in the water and the bald guy punched him out. (mind like a steel trap)

then he said, why do babies get baptized? i told him that we don't baptize babies and you don't get baptized until you are 8. then he asked, who is going to baptize me? i told him that dad was going to baptize him because he has the special priesthood power.
then he said, will i get the priesthood power? i told him someday he would.

i love the questions that eli asks me. i know that when i give him an answer, he will think about it and remember it.

Cool. That will be a cool day when all the kids get baptized. Lost is uncle Dave's favorite show too.

Eli is so inquisitive and all his reading makes him want to know more and ask lots of questions. your right he asks lots of questions and remembers. Eli - you special little boy.
