Trey's Connection

So we have been trying to do a discussion on core doctrines of the gospel each night at dinner and have really had some cool experiences with the kids. Tonight Trey made a great connection as we discussed the fall of Adam and Eve and the Atonement. We discussed the basic ideas that the fall brought about physical and spiritual death and as we talked Trey interjected and basically said something to the effect of, "so if Jesus had not done the Atonement then as soon as we sinned we would die and be lost forever?" (See 2 Nephi 9:7-9) I responded in the affirmative and told him how impressed I was that he had made that connection.

It is so cool to see even children understanding gospel principles and doctrines. It is a testimony to me of the power of the Holy Ghost and how God works with us and speaks in our language and according to our understanding (see 2 Nephi 31:3). He truly is aware of all of us!
