I like Life!

Adam just came to tell Ryan and I that as Seth was climbing into his bunk, he turned and said, "I like life."  Adam responded lovingly, "I like life, too."  Then thought for a second, "Do you mean Life the game?"  "Yeah!"  Adam told him, "I thought you meant life in general."    Oh, I have to say, I was surprisingly and pleasantly astonished that Seth would have been so outspokenly reflective, but that just isn't him.  So I'll take his no-nonsense, scientific mindset and hope that he liked playing Life with us.

Finished dinner and jumping on the trampoline with the missionaries.  Ryan just finished the rough draft of her testimony for the Book of Mormons she wants to give to her three friends.  What a beautiful spirit she has.  She wrote that learning about Jesus makes her happy.  She told me if she was a grown up she would have said it makes her feel the Spirit, but she doesn't quite know what that means. (We explained the other day about learning to feel the Spirit and that since their lives are pretty great they probably feel it a lot, so it may just feel a lot like being happy.)  She may not quite understand it, but she is listening to and following the Spirit already.
