Blake is happy to report that he finished memorizing all 13 Articles of Faith for Primary last week, earning a Brusters Icecream gift card and a new journal. As a Primary Presidency we've been focusing on all of the kids to accomplish this goal by the end of the year. Blake was the 4th kid in our ward to be able to pass them all off - the other 3 kids are kids who are turning 12 this year and have to do it as part of the Faith in God Program. The craziest thing about him doing it is that he did it all on his own - we didn't help him one bit! He skipped ahead and memorized #13 out of order about a month ago and when they pass that one off we have them recite it in closing exercises for everybody, which of course everybody was in awe of...he recited it just as if he was reading it. When parents came up and asked me what "OUR" method was, my only reply was that HIS method was just to read it outloud 2-3 times and then he was able to remember it perfectly all week to pass it off to his teacher during class. Crazy!!
