OK seriously...I could have a book all about conversations with Anchor!
On Monday...Anchor was asking me a ton of questions about Heavenly Father. He was so impressed that he Heavenly Father made the Earth and the Universe for that matter! We spoke about how wonderful, nice, smart & loving Heavenly Father is. Then in the most Serious voice & face he asks..."mom...why didn't you name me Heavenly Father?"
I, of course wanted to laugh...in a sweet mom, what will he say next kind of way...I just replied that there is only one Heavenly Father, and that Anchor is a pretty cool name and that he was a very special and important boy and will do amazing things in his life!

"I would like to speak to the owner"
At church this past Sunday...I was told in the hallway that I had to talk to Heather(the Primary Pres.) and that she had a VERY FUNNY story about Anchor. (note to readers: Anchor is 5 years old, very inquisitive, does not forget much and will run a country someday)
So the story told by many go's like this...
Anchor was sitting next to his Sunday school teacher (Heidi), he decided that he would rather sit with the "big boys" across the room. Heidi then proceeded to say, "Anchor, you should stay with your class", Anchor still insisted and Heidi then said many times "Oh Anchor, I would miss you if you sat by them, please sit by me". Anchor then said " I would like to speak to the owner". (I am sure Heidi wanted to burst out in laughter), she tried to convince him to talk to her that she was his teacher etc...he kept on insisting to speak to the "owner (of the church)" Just as he was getting up to walk towards the big boys, Heidi turned him over to Heather who was walking by and she explained that Anchor would like to speak to the "owner". Heather assured Anchor that he could speak to her because after all she is the Primary president. That she is kind of like the boss of all the kids at church.
Anchor and Heather went back and forth and Anchor, just wanted to speak to the owner (he wasn't buying it) Just then Bishop Tripp was walking by and Heather said oh here he is Anchor...she explained to Anchor that Bishop Tripp was like the owner...he was over the whole ward. She let Bishop Tripp know that Anchor really wants to speak to the owner. So Bishop Tripp talked to Anchor in his office (I haven't spoke to him yet about their Conversation) But he walked Anchor back to primary and Anchor had a big smile on his face. Bishop told Heather that if Anchor was good then after church he could come back to his office and get a piece of candy out of the candy jar.
Mothers note:
So what I find funny about this is that Anchor almost daily asks me about Heavenly Father, Jesus, Satan, who made what etc. Just that Sunday morning Anchor asked me if Heavenly Father was invisible. I replied to him that he was to most people but to certain people like prophets he isn't. He also has asked me who the owner/boss of our church is and I always tell him Heavenly Father & Jesus. I just never know what is going on in that little guys head...I would have been deathly afraid to speak to adults with such confidence when I was a child (maybe not now) Also Ric and I have never uttered ever "I would like to speak to the owner"...so where he got that from...I have know clue!!! Anyway...Anchor definitely keeps us laughing at home...and keeps people at church laughing too....I hope!
...More stories soon!
