Best of friends

When I arrived at church they were short with adults to help with the children in Primary. So I went on in and sat down with a group of 6 year old girls and one lone boy. The little girl in the frilly dress looked up at me and asked "Are you a mom?" I said nope. She then asked "Are you a mean person or a nice person?". I smiled and replied "That depends" just kidding I said "I think I am mostly a nice person". She quickly grabbed my hand and placed it on her check and exclaimed "We are going to be the best of friends!" I think her name was Efiny. There were 2 Melody's, Scarlet and London. The little boy kept telling me I was saying his name wrong he had a beautiful accent. He thought he was spider man and kept webbing me and the girls. It is so cute how kids are so trusting and loving. They all fought over sitting on my lap and kissing my hands. Little London was the most mature and would roll her eyes at the drama of the younger girls. The other thing is how sad it is that little girls pick up things so quickly from the adults in their lives. One of the girls kept talking about lies and secrets. I know her parents are divorced and it was ugly. You can see how it had effected her. They just love telling me about God and Jesus. They get big grins and say he loves me. I love being around them it makes me feel young. It reminds me of times where my big stress was what color of play-do should I use. Next week I am teaching the adult woman about Chasity. I'm sure they will not run and kiss my hands or profess best of friendsness. But it will be great.
