to open a can of worms.......without any idea

So last night I was having scripture study with the kids before bed

in Tio Jonathons room which we have taken over and has become

temporary Casa de Carvajal

We read

Alma 12:24

" And we see that death comes upon mankind, yea, the death which has been spoken of by Amulek, which is the temporal death;nevertheless there was a space granted unto man in which he might repent; therefore this life became a probationary state; a time to prepare for that endless state which has been spoken of by us, which is after the resurrection of the dead."

I said

so, in this life we get to prepare to meet God

what can we do to prepare?

Jaxson looking bereft of knowledge

Well, I just don't get it Mom

how do babies come out of you anyway

Liam rolled to his back spread his legs apart then pointed in between them

They come out from here, right Mom

I said

yes, Liam you are right

Jaxson again

so, what Mom they cut your penis off

Liam, Emme, & I chimed

mom doesn't have a penis

Jaxson

so, what it's like a transformer or something

I said holding back laughter, tears, & anxiety

yep, something like that

Okay so this life is to prepare to meet God, what can we do to prepare ourselves?

All I can say is this mother gig is definitely a mixed bag
