As of this last Sunday Javen is officially in Primary! He was a little hesitant to go into the primary room, so Casey joined him to make him more comfortable. There is a very large sunbeam class this year, a total of 14 kids! Although there were only 8 of the 14 kids, I was told they were still very active. During class time Sister Merrill (Javen's teacher) asked all of the kids to say their names and then say that they were a child of God. When Javen's turn came to do this, instead of just saying, "I am a child of God, and my name is Javen" he said, I am a child of God, and my name is Javen Roy Dover."
Now what I have to say next might surprise some of you...Javen received the reverence award for the junior Primary! This means that during singing and sharing time Javen was the most reverent out of all the kids. He was able to choose a prize and chose Mountain Dew chapstick. I am so proud of my little boy and am excited for all that he will learn in Primary.
Great job Javen! I'm glad you started a blog because I probably wouldn't have heard about this even if I was in Portland! How fun!
ReplyDeleteI love that he chose a Mountain Dew one! He is a chip off the old block. What a cute little sunbeam. I am really impressed with the reverence award! Adam, on the other hand, was sitting in front to give a talk and started wrestling the kid next to him. He fell off his chair and everything.
ReplyDeleteThat is hilarious Brooke.
