Saying Prayers

This week we have been helping Alden learn to say his prayers.  He doesn't quite understand what he's doing yet, but he loves when we tell him it's his turn.  He repeats very clearing back, but I think he thinks it's a little funny sometimes, because you can hear he's holding in a laugh or talking through a huge smile.  He is starting to finish sentences by himself too, which is always fun to hear.  We will say, "Please bless" and wait for him to say it, but he will sometimes fill it in with the word "food" and he can also close his own prayers now.   We say "In the name" and he will say "In the name of Jesus Christ" and then wait for all of us to say "Amen" together.

I am excited for him to learn more about the gospel and love to see his enthusiasm for learning.
