To Be Immortal...


Last night when I was tucking Eli in, he said, "I wish Jesus could touch me." When I asked him why, his answer was, "So that I could live forever." I was shocked! Eli was actually listening when we were reading the Book of Mormon about when Christ was in America and the three Nephite disciples asked to be able to preach the gospel until the Second Coming. I was sure he was so busy horsing around and fighting with Asher that he didn't hear a word. But he did! He really did! It is some payoff for what seems like an incredible ordeal of trying to read scriptures each morning. Some information is sinking in...sigh...cheer!
