The Fishers in La Paz, Bolivia

The church we’ve been attending this school year does a children’s moment during almost every service. We really like that Avery gets to participate in the service, but we hold our breath every time she goes forward with the other kids. She always manages to sit right next to the person speaking, which puts her in close proximity to the microphone. Of course, the speaker at the children’s moment always asks the kids questions, and Avery’s hand is always up, even if she has no idea what the question or answer is. Thankfully, she hasn’t said anything too embarassing so far, but it is usually fairly amusing.

Take today’s exchange for example. . .

Speaker: “Who knows what holiday we are all about to celebrate?”

Avery: “The cookie exchange” (planned for later that day at our house)

Speaker: “Who can tell me what you would like for Christmas?”

Avery: “I want new clothes.”

Perhaps you can’t tell it, but we HAVE been talking about JESUS this Christmas, but it is difficult to tell from her answers! Next Sunday is the children’s program where she will play the role of a lamb. Hopefully her only line is BAAA!
