Andrew's obsession with the scriptures is as strong as ever. Jeff found his Preach My Gospel manual and Andrew reads a section and looks up the scriptures. I feel some guilt with this obsession--"stop reading your scriptures and go to bed," and "no, I don't know any good scriptures about that topic..." are some things I have actually had to say to Andrew. He likes to quiz me and ask me to tell him "good scriptures" to look up in the Acts, for example. He loves the scriptures and could easily beat me in a scripture chase. He has all the books in the Old and New Testament, Book of Mormon and Pearl of Great Price memorized in order. His primary teacher loves him. I try to tell him that all of the scriptures are good, but he doesn't buy it. He likes the ones about prophets and asks me about every name he reads. I love when he asks me because he sounds out the names phonetically--who is Moseees? Andrew was so excited because he found a movie at the library about Esther. He watched it intently when we got home and then sat in the van in the garage and read Esther for over an hour. And then last week he taught me about fasting. Needless to say, he has been a good influence in our home.

I didn't know about this obsession--that is classic! I am sure he could also beat me anytime at a scripture chase.
That is great that he loves reading the scriptures and is so interested in all of the stories. Reading the scriptures is hard even for us adults!
That is amazing! He is going to be prophet someday ;) or at least one heck of a institute teacher! He is so smart. It makes me want to study the scriptures more....ok at all.
