Ethan got an Indiana Jones Lego set for his birthday. It is something that he has been wanting forever (like a month maybe?), but he is very protective of it and wants to make sure that nobody breaks it or messes with it. The crown jewel of his set is the little Lego Indiana Jones guy, complete with cool hat and whip. Last night he decided that he would take the Lego Indy to bed with him so nothing happened to it while he was sleeping. He got all tucked in and then two minutes later came running downstairs. He looked everywhere! Indy was nowhere! He was in tears by this point so I decided to go help him look. Probably under the pillow, on the side of the bed; somewhere obvious I was sure.
I looked around for about 30 seconds when Ethan said, "Mom, If I say a prayer then I know that I can find him." So right there he drops to his knees and prays that he can find Indy. He stood up and saw him right away- in the end of his bunk bed in a little nook. (Not a place I would have ever checked most likely.) Ethan then told me that he knew a prayer would help. What a sweet kid! Such simple faith and yet so powerful. After finding it Erin reminded him that now he should say another prayer to thank Heavenly Father for helping him find it. I am grateful for my kids and the good examples that they are to me. Just a little thing, but it meant a lot to me.

I love how much faith little kids have...its amazing. They are so close to the spirit and we learn so much from them!
Isn't it great that God even cares about Lego Indy?!? My Ethan is a bit obsesed as well. I carried Indy around with me half the morning in my pocket so that he didn't loose him at Grandma's house!
Now that is just precious. You have taught your children well!
So awesome! I love it when my kids do "churchy" things without me telling them to.
Thanks for sharing that story. I love hearing things like that. It means alot to hear those stories, but even more coming from a child. Their innocence is such a good reminder of how to be since we can forget to easily. I love that Erin reminded him to Thank him too. What sweethearts!
