Ryan has turned 8 and is now a cub scout! When I told him we were going to scouts that afternoon, he gasped and shouted, "I'm so excited I'm a scout!" He threw his hands up in to the air and did a happy dance and kept chanting "yes! yes! I'm so excited my head is going to explode!" Haha!
Our first scout meeting was a pack meeting and he was introduced as the newest wolf. He was thrilled and so excited to be there, and his good friend Johnathan turns 8 in 2 weeks too. He is also excited to meet new friends from the 3rd ward.
Saturday night, I asked Ryan if he would like to start fasting now that he is 8 and he said yes. I asked what would he like to fast for and he said, I'll try breakfast and lunch....haha and I said, no son, what specific blessing are you going to ask Heavenly father for? A fast is a really big prayer asking for blessings for you or someone or something else. And after he thought about it for a bit, he said, for 2 things, one that Kaylee would feel better.....she was sick throwing up on the couch, and 2 that people who don't have homes would be able to get money to have a home. How sweet! and such a proud special moment.
