Kids aren't afraid

The ward here kept announcing playgroup each week. And each week Karen would take the kids to the playground...and there was no one to be found. Even when they changed the date and time, she thought surely people would come. But no such luck.

The kids look forward to going to the playground. So Karen has stuck with the latest time of Thursday mornings. And the kids have made some friends...who apparently go there faithfully each week as well. So now they have their own little playgroup.

Today Mark had a missionary "report" to share with me.

Mark asked his new friend of two weeks if he goes to The Church of Jesus Christ.

Connor: "No"

Mark: "Do you know about Jesus?"

Connor: "Yes, I learned about Him in my school."

Mark: "Do you have missionaries?"

Connor: "What are missionaries?"

Mark: "They have tags and they teach people about Jesus. Do you think you could talk to your mom or dad about coming to church?"

Connor: "I don't know."

Mark: "Will you talk to your parents about coming to church?"

Connor: "Yes."

Then they went back to playing with the omnitrix.

Apparently, Anya had her own little missionary experience as well. She was talking with a little boy about the Holy Ghost. She made it very clear that He's not a scary ghost.

We'll see if the moms continue to bring their kids to the playground on Thursday mornings.
