Jesus!? I know him!

Today Draven, Gracie, Gabree and I made some pictures to send to Drew in Hawaii. Its very interesting to get a child's view of a mission when they have never experienced one before.
I said, "i think we should make some pictures to send to Drew in Hawaii, i bet he would really love that", to which Draven responded, "is Drew going to be in Hawaii forever?"
hmm interesting question, the words "two years" means very little to a 6 year old.
So i said, "well not forever exactly. but a long time, he will back when you are 8". When i said it out loud, i almost wanted to say, WOW, that IS forever....
Gracie wanted to paint her picture, so i got out the paint and she said "what should i paint?"
I suggested maybe some trees or flowers, and then i said, "you should put a missionary on it too"
"What's a missionary?"
"Well, a missionary is a person who goes somewhere far away to teach people about Jesus."
To which she responded (and this was my favorite part by the way) "JESUS?!! I KNOW HIM!" and she said it pretty much like that scene in elf when Buddy is told Santa is coming to town. AWESOME.
Draven decided to draw A: a picture of batman on one side, and B: a picture of Bruce Banner turning into the Hulk on the other side.
And Gabree got more purple crayon on my kitchen counter then on the paper.
So we made our pictures, and it was fun. I cant mail it out yet though, because James has insisted the he is going to color a picture of a panda bear to send, (yeah i don't know either)
I might make it a weekly occurrence, or at least until Drew writes me asking me to stop sending him crayon and paint covered printer paper.
Aloha Elder Carter, we love you!
