Prayers

Maliya generally insists on being the one to offer every prayer. Rachel got a chance to say one for the first time, just a couple weeks ago. After being prompted on the opening of the prayer, Rachel immediately said "Dank Dee, Fwapa" (translation: 'Thank Thee for Grandpa'). Aww, so cute! She repeated this a couple of times.

Since then, she still doesn't get many chances to pray, but some times she will say her own little prayer at the same time that Maliya is saying a prayer. And some times randomly during the day, she will fold her arms and say a prayer. Her prayers consist of being thankful for one thing...over and over. One such prayer occurred while we were reading scriptures. Rachel folded her little arms, bowed her little head and said "Dank Dee, Seesa-Dan. Dank Dee, Seesa-Dan. Dank Dee, Seesa-Dan." (Translation: 'Thank Thee for Alisha and Dan).

For the last few days, her prayers have been: "Dank Dee, Aiden's house" (Translation: "Thank Thee we could go to Braiden's house). Apparently going to Braiden's house is exciting enough to warrant thanks for several days afterwards. I'm glad that I have such grateful little girls!!!
