Yesterday I went to church with my sister in law to help her out with a lesson that she was teaching to the children. During the class time there was a super cute activity that the kids all did. She read a story about how a little girl gave a coupon to each member of the family to do a chore or something nice for each one. To follow the story we had a paper with “I will” written on the top of the page and “for you” on the bottom. Each child was then asked to draw a picture of something they wanted to do for a family member for Christmas. We would help them spell or write words as needed and when they were finished we would give them an envelope to put their gift in and then they decorated the outside.

One little boy was having a difficult time and asked me how to write “say” so we helped him out. Then out of curiosity, my sister asked “What are you going to do?” and he says “I’m going to say the SHIK word to my brother”. At first we were not really sure what he was trying to say, but when I heard him whisper to a classmate “That’s a bad word, right?” I knew what he was getting at! Needless to say, we had the opportunity to talk about saying nice things to the people we love and we helped him to change his gift to something more fitting for Christmas.

On our way to Utah for my recovery time with my parents and Jefe’s family, our van had the unfortunate experience of breaking down. It was a great blessing that it was broken only about 1 mile away from my inlaws house after an entire 13 hour trip from Arizona. The problem? The transmission. We actually felt it go as we were sitting at a traffic light. Another blessing was that it was 3am because it is one of the most busy streets in their town.

Superkid was asked what was wrong with the van a few days later by my brother in law and he said “The Van ran out of permission.” !! Too cute!
