Testimonies and Beans

A couple of weeks ago for Family Home Evening I wanted to teach Josh about testimonies. So I let Josh pick out 5 beans, which we wrapped in damp paper towels and put in the cupboard to germinate (is that the correct terminology?). We then related to him how beans are like a testimony, in that they need to be nourished to grow...beans with soil, water and sunlight, and testimonies need other spitirual care to grow in our hearts.

The next Sunday was Fast Sunday, so during one of the testimonies Josh picked up on the the word "testimony" and said "A testimony like my beans!" At least he picked up the relationship, right?

Oh, the mind of a child.

What an interesting trip to the store. Thank goodness for candy hidden deep in the purse!
