A member of our ward?

So, about a month ago Michael saw this man named Allan at church and said to me, "Hey, him Joseph Smith!" It was pretty cute. This man actually does look like the men they have portray Joseph Smith in the church movies. We chuckled about it that first week. Well, each week since then when Michael sees Allan he says, "Hi Joseph Smith." I guess it's official in Michael's mind that Joseph Smith lives in our ward. Today we were giving "Joseph" a ride and Michael jumps in the car and says, "Mommy, Joseph Smith ride in our van!" Then he helped him buckle his seat belt and Michael said, "Thanks Joseph Smith." I'm just glad that even though he is only 2 1/2 years old he is familiar with Joseph Smith and the story of the Book of Mormon. Kids really do learn so fast and I'm grateful that my boys enjoy learning about the gospel.
