Article of Faith 1 - Lincoln

After the first Sunday of the New Year, Lincoln came excitedly out of his new class, telling me that we had to go home right then and learn the first Article of Faith, because if he could have it memorized by the next Sunday his teacher would give him a treat. He was very intense about it. So we went home, and wrote down the first Article of Faith on a piece of paper and taped it up next to his bed, so he could read it and practice it whenever he wanted. Then throughout the week I would quiz him, or cover up different parts and have him repeat it back to me. By the next Sunday he was ready, and he passed it off.

His teacher told me later that she was very impressed. She said none of the other kids in the class had even remembered the challenge. True to her word, Monday night she dropped by with a frog cupcake for Linc. He was SOOOOOO excited. :)
