Scriptures

Yesterday it clicked with Ethan that if he concentrates he can read the scriptures without too much of a problem. During Sacrament Meeting he was reading away and it kept him pretty quiet. Ethan loves to go home teaching with Bryan. After Church, Ethan sat down and read his scriptures, getting a verse ready to share with the family they would be visiting that night. It was so cute. Bryan said at the home of the family Ethan read 1 Nephi 3:7 to them and that was their lesson. He even marked it with red pen in his little missionary scriptures.

During Family Home Evening, he had to be the one to share the scripture. It was so neat to see it all click with him. Now he is so excited about reading that he reads while eating breakfast! I love it! The funny thing about it is that now Courtney thinks she can read scriptures too.

Last night she opened up the Book of Mormon (upside down) and began reading. There was an "and it came to pass" in there along with a "and the Lamanites were the bad guys" along with something about a mermaid. She always ends he scripture reading with the Pledge of Allegiance. It's pretty hilarious!!

Here's a video of Ethan reading. There's one of Courtney too, but she isn't speaking English (she has her own pretend language).
