The Getschers: Mark's primary talk

Mark's primary talk

We helped Ethan write another Primary talk except this time Marko gave it. Lucky guy. I could sense that all the Primary workers were on the edge of their seats (or was it just my imagination?) waiting to hear something funny again like his last talk. Guess you can't beat the humor in "Eliza's job is to do nothing" from his last talk. Cute guy.

My talk is on strengthening our family. To strengthen means to be strong. We can be strong in our families by praying, being nice to each other, and by helping Jesus by following what he says.

Nephi was building the ship and the brothers said Jesus didn't say that. Nephi said Jesus commanded him to build the ship. Nephi strengthened his family by building the ship and being righteous. His brothers were strengthened by looking at him and they said, "Wow! Jesus commanded him to do it."

I can strengthen my family by teaching FHE, treating my sister nice, giving people stuff that is mine, and writing letters. I can be righteous and help Jesus by following what he says.

Ethan's Expressions

10/17/10 Mark came home from a church fireside and Ethan said, "How many fireworks did you see?"
10/1/10 Ethan came home from school and said they made a scarecrow but then said they didn't make it with any "scares" in it.
7/1 Ethan was playing with his good friend Addison outside. Eliza was giving Addison big, cheesy, flirty smiles and, even worse, was blowing kisses at him. I then asked her if she wanted to kiss Addison and she nodded her head yes. Boy crazy already! Ahh!
7/1 Mark was talking about Chris King hubs for your bike which supposedly are the best and, in his words, will outlast the bike rider. Ethan said, "Chris King hubs won't outlast Jesus since Jesus never dies." Smart boy.
12/29 "Eliza thinks Rudolph the Reindeer is HER reindeer." He often comes up with silly things that Eliza "says" like this. He has often told me that Eliza thinks she's a mommy and always is telling him what to do.
12/15 Mark said he would take Ethan on splits with the missionaries if Ethan ate all of his dinner. Ethan said, "Great! But I don't like it (dinner, that is)." He said this about 3:00 before I even started thinking about what we would have for dinner.
12/14 Ethan likes to get into Eliza's crib and play quite often when they're supposed to be sleeping. One night we went to check on them at 10:30 PM (!!) and they were still awake, playing. He excitedly exclaimed to Eliza as we walked in, "It's a miracle we're still awake!!" And then proceeded to ask us, "Is it morning time?"
12/13 Ethan asked me if he could draw all over his body. I cautioned him against it, saying that his body was a temple and that we wouldn't be drawing on the walls of the temple. I wanted him to make his own choice... he thought about it for a while and then asked, "Well then, can I draw a temple on my body?" Smart boy.
