Greta helping those in Need

I never want to forget the way Ava stares into my eyes and looks at me like I am her favorite person in the world at that moment.  I know someday I am going to forget all the little looks I get and specific things that I wish I could capture in my memory and never forget.  I try to write things down but I get busy, tired and I forget.  The other day Greta and Madison went with me to visit a lady in Relief Society.  The lady had some needs that she was worried about and the next day the kids worked at the ward garden with their Dad. 
When I got home Greta said: "Mommy, I talked to the Bishop today."
I said: "What about?"
She replied:"Well I didn't go search him out but I waited until he came up to where Malia and I were working and then I told him about the lady that needed help and asked if he thought he could help her.  The Bishop told me that he would try to help her.  I felt weird at first but he is just the happiest Bishop I know and he smiled and kind of giggled while I talked to him so I felt better."

I can't wait to see her someday as an adult in Relief Society.  I hope that she will help those in need and try to comfort them.  I know she will be a great Visiting Teacher and I am so proud of her.  I am also thankful that we have such a great Bishop that my 9year old is so comfortable with talking to him.  I have a list of other things I want to write about but I need to watch a movie with my family.  I will write tomorrow, be consistent for awhile.
