A Child's Prayer

Last Sunday, we had our Primary Program! The week before the Primary Presidency had passed out invitations for the kids to give to family members and friends that do not usually attend our meetings or come to our church. We thought that it would be a great opportunity for the kids to reach out to those around them!
Our family decided to give an invitation to Papa and Nana and two of our neighbors/friends. The kids were really excited to pass out their invitations and had a lot of fun doing so. Every day, that week, Emerson and Jakob prayed that those we invited would be able to attend the program. They would say, "Please bless, [so and so], that they might be able to attend church with us." It was so cute!
The day of the program came and we didn't know if anyone would be able to attend. My parents hadn't decided yet and our neighbors hadn't called to let us know. Emerson asked if anyone was coming and I told him, "Maybe", but in my mind was thinking that no one would come. He still continued to pray and had such great faith that they would! Two out of the three families that we invited came! It was a wonderful experience and we were so happy!
Just one example of why the Lord tells us to "become as a little child"! What faith!
