As I was putting Joseph to bed, Sunday night after his baptism, I told him to just wear his underwear because it was so hot and stuffy in his bedroom. He looked up at me sweetly with questioning eyes and asked, "but mom, now that I'm an official member of the church shouldn't I be wearing garments?"
I love that he was ready to make that commitment!
On Monday, Joseph and Edwin were playing (read: fighting) on the trampoline. Of course they both hurt each other. Joseph came rushing into the house and went into the conservatory. I asked Edwin what happened. Joe returned shortly after and apologized to Edwin. Later he seemed rather reflective and I asked him if he was OK. He told me, " When I hurt Edwin I quickly went and said a prayer to Heavenly Father to ask forgiveness, then I apologized to Edwin, so I'm covered, right!?"
Yes, you are definitely covered!
I love that he understood the proper course he had to take to receive forgiveness.
Thank you for your example Joseph!
