Big D.E.A.L. and Little Max: These are the things I want to remember the most

These are the things I want to remember the most

Monday night, 7:00 pm. We are sitting in a circle on the floor having just enjoyed a lesson, thoughtfully prepared and delivered by Ava. Or rather, Dan and I enjoyed the lesson, while Luke and Max were hooligans, but still.

We sing Families Can Be Together Forever to wind things down.

I have a family here on earth,

they are so good to me.

I want to share my life with them through all eternity.

Families can be together forever through Heavenly Father's plan.

I always want to be with my own family.

And the Lord has shown me how I can.

The Lord has shown me how I can.

Then Ava looks at me beaming and says,

"I feel so happy right now. When we sang that song I just felt so happy that my heart wanted to cry."
