After church yesterday Joshua was telling us about his classes and explained that the person who was to give the talk in primary was not there. He went on to say that he volunteered to give the talk because he had a favorite scripture story to share with the rest of the kiddos aged 3-7. He was so proud when he told us that he shared the story of "The ten leopards." At first I thought I heard him wrong. I mean the kid is missing 6 of his front teeth! When I asked him to repeat himself it was till leopards. So trying to restrain a laugh, I asked him to tell me the story. He went on to tell me that Jesus healed 10 leopards but only one leopard came back to say thank you. I'm pretty sure the boy knows it wasn't large cat creatures, but I guess leopards sound pretty close to lepers.
A little while later I got a phone call from a lady at church. She wants Josh to act out the role of Joseph when the kids do their Christmas program next week. My little man is gonna be Joseph! I was a bit concerned that he would not want to do it because he can be shy, and they do want him to put his arm around a girl...But he was actually okay wit that. He's quite excited too. His count down last night was of how many days until he gets to be Joseph rather than the usual how many days until Grandma comes or Christmas.
Oh yeah..the one request Josh was given for his performance was that he smile while he's up there. I guess I'm not the only one that loves that almost toothless grin.
