Sam started primary (or as he calls it, "kid church") in January. He's not quite used to going yet, so I've been going with him. Thoroughly enjoyable, BTW.
Yesterday:
primary leader: "If Jesus were here, what would you want to ask him?"
boy 1: "How can you kill people with just a slingshot?"
boy 2: "What's it like to not have a single gun?"
boy 3: "And do you really make swords by yourself? And they *work*?"
Then a boy got up to give his testimony. "I know," he says, "That Gordon B. Hinkley" [pause; this is normally where he would have said, "is a prophet"][deep breath] "is dead." [pause again.] "And I know that Heavenly Father" [pause] "is also dead." [pause] "for me." [I think he meant to say that Jesus died for me, but, yanno, whatever.]
Violence and the death of God.
Nietzsche would be proud.

Almost you make me wish I were subbing for Sunbeams yesterday and not Valiants. Those Sunbeams cut through the fluff.
We made a bow out of PVC pipe and yarn, and then you could get a turn shooting an arrow across the room each time you would answer a question about the Liahona and Nephi's bow.
That is great! Thanks for sharing!
Too funny.

My sunbeams have not moved beyond basic social experiments in push and shove. I look forward to this progression.
