Connecting the dots...



Here's a little background first...  A few weeks ago, we went camping and Isaac helped me build a campfire to cook our dinner in.  Once the fire was roarin', Michelle made some awesome chicken and cheese burritos.  I snagged a couple of the longer sticks we had found and cooked them up over the fire.  Them's were some good eats!   Now, on with the story...

Tonight we read in the Book of Mormon where the Lord commanded Nephi to build a ship.  We read about how the Lord had directed Nephi to where he could find ore to make tools.  In the next verse, Nephi explains how he "did smite two stones together that [he] might make fire."

I then proceeded to explain to Isaac that Nephi had made a fire so that he could make tools.

Isaac then asked, "Is Nephi going to make burritos too?"

It took us a quick second, but Michelle and I caught on and silently chuckled.  I then explained, "Well no, he was going to make tools."

It is so exciting to see Isaac's memory expand and watch as his little mind puts things together!  What a stud!

That's a great story. I bet if Nephi knew about burritos he would have made some along with the tools :)
