No Blankets or fans in Heaven

Tonight we had a really great family night! We turned on music and danced with the kids. Audrey is such an amazing little dancer. Adam even got into the action! After that we had scripture study and then the girls started a little discussion of their own. It is so fun to see their minds working and their understanding of gospel concepts and principals forming. I was really impressed with both of their sweet little testimonies of Jesus and God. Rachel talked about how Jesus loves us and God loves us and how we have to love them and keep the commandments. She is attending a Catholic Preschool so sometimes she tells me things that I am pretty sure she gets from school. Tonight she was telling us that if we all point up to Jesus that we will get to see him. It was really funny because Audrey was correcting a lot of the things that Rach said. Audrey talked about how first we were in Heaven and God made all of the people and then we came down to earth to learn about Jesus and God. She said that everyone in the whole world will die and go to Heaven. She then told us that Jesus is building us houses in heaven to live in with doors and beds but they don't have blankets or fans in heaven. She said that we have to bring our favorite blanket! Kids are so funny! Rachel and Audrey were both in on a string of comments about how you can't run around and play in Heaven because the clouds are too soft and if you make a hole in the clouds then you will fall through. But then Rachel said that if we fall Jesus will save us because he doesn't want us to get hurt. James was trying to tell the kids how Heavenly Father wants us to talk to him. Audrey said, "he doesn't have a phone up there!" He just has his ears for a phone and he can hear us. It's hard to describe the amount of animation that the kids had as they were talking about all of this! They were so into it! It was really fun to see them growing and forming their own ideas! Anyway, I guess we better not forget our blankets!
