Trust Like a Child

Ezra and Mercy have been downstairs alone, watching videos from the Church web site based on the Book of Mormon Reader. Mercy isn't feeling well (slight fever and lethargic), but they were excited to watch the videos. That have previously watched chapters 1-10 and they were waiting for me to download the rest to my computer so they could watch. Finally, their chance has come.

After letting them watch the first 10 chapters (2-5 minutes each), I was surprised how much Ezra (5) was picking up. I assumed he would find them boring since they are essentially narrated slideshows. Nevertheless, he remembered where they had left off and asked me to find chapter 11.

They have been downstairs for about 15 minutes.

He just came upstairs to me and announced, "Dad. I said a blessing for Mercy and God's power will heal her. She'll feel better soon. God can help us feel better because He has a lot of power and I just said a little prayer for her. So don't worry about her, because she'll feel better."
