the things kids say!

I went to a Baptism tonight for one of the kids in my primary. And boy was it worth it!
The little boy being baptized tonight is a SWEET boy from a very abusive background until he was sent to live with a family in my ward and the change has been from night to day! It was a sweet experience to be there with him and celebrate his new life.
There was another little boy at the baptism who is not a member of the LDS faith. This kid was hilarious!
The first talk was about Baptism, given by the grandma (who teaches the sunbeam class in her primary- so every sentence was 5 words or less). She was explaining the covenants (or promises) made between Heavenly Father and us when we are baptized. She mentioned that something we promise to do is to obey all of Heavenly Father's commandments. Then she asked why it was important to do that?
Enter awesome little boy: So we don't go to hell?
Stunned grandma: Well,um, yes. thats right.

This little boy also chimed in when the Dad was giving a talk about the holy ghost.
Dad: .... after you are baptized, you will be blessed with the gift of the Holy Ghost.
Awesome little boy: is that AFTER he's dumped?

I'm sure you see the humor in the situation! We certainly did! It was a learning experience for all in attendance; so please obey the commandments- I don't want you going to hell.
