I sat down and explained to Isaac how to find things in the scriptures. He decided that he would like to start reading the scriptures. So amongst all this new found excitement, I asked Isaac if he would be willing to head up FHE for tonight. He happily accepted. So he picked a scripture to talk about. He chose 1 Nephi 1:5 "Wherefore it came to pass that my father, Lehi, as he went forth prayed unto the Lord, yea, even with all his heart, in behalf of his people." Isaac talked to us about how Lehi was a prophet and that he tried to teach the people of Jerusalem to repent and to follow the ways of the Lord. I sat there and listened to him teaching us, I couldn't help but feel the love of my Savior. Here is this sweet little 6 year old boy with such faith that the scriptures are true. It is definitely a highlight of parenthood.
Audrey chose the song "Follow the Prophet" which went along perfectly with the lesson. After the lesson was over, Isaac wanted to do an activity. Without any direction from Steve or I he assigned everyone to go sit at the table, he grabbed four pieces of blank paper and went and got the crayon box. He said that everyone was to draw a wicked person and he would draw the prophet. We each glued out people to a stick and acted out the prophet preaching to the people to do what they should and follow the prophet. Here are some pics:

I love that Isaac is so excited about the scriptures.
