Children: Natural Missionaries

Sometimes I wish sharing the gospel could be as easy for me as it is for my children. Yesterday, Jasmine, a neighbor girl, was over playing with Elizabeth.

Here was their basic conversation.

Jasmine: Where were you guys yesterday?

Liz: We were at church! Let me show you what I got yesterday. (Lizzie pulls out her scriptures and shows her the beautiful scripture sticker she got in class on Sunday. They read the scripture together too.) Lizzie continues, "We have extra Books of Mormon. I bet you can have one. Then, we can see if you can come to church with us. (When you bring your scriptures on Sunday, you get a sticker.) You can bring your scriptures and get your own sticker.

Jasmine was ecstatic!

I know these special scripture stickers are pretty pricey. I wonder if her teachers planned on her inviting all her friends in the neighborhood to partake in the program. :-)

I've decided that I need to be as confident in inviting people to church as my kids are! What an example.
