Today, Enoch gave a talk in Primary. He spoke about the topic of God creating man. This may sound like an unusual topic, but there is a story behind it.
A few weeks ago, Enoch was watching NOVA after school. He watched an episode on Darwin and evolution. I asked him what he had learned. He told me that humans evolved from fish. I told him that humans did not evolve from fish, but we were created by Jesus under the direction of Heavenly Father. He started arguing all his 'scientific evidence' and was quite insistent. I told him what I believed, what the scriptures say and I invited him to pray about it.
A few days later, Enoch came to me and told me he had prayed about where we come from. He received an answer that we were created in the image of God by Jesus Christ. When it was time to give his talk, he wanted to talk about
In Genesis 1:26-27 it says,

In Genesis 1:26-27 it says,
And
God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let
them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the
air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every
creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. So God created man in
his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female
created he them.
I know
these words are true because I prayed about them. I know that
Heavenly Father created our bodies and sent us to earth to learn and
grow, to become more like Him. This is part of His plan. I am
thankful for this because we can have a body in heaven after we are
resurrected and be more like our Father in Heaven and Jesus. In the
name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
So proud of him!

I am so proud of Enoch, but as a mother I am so proud of you! What a great teaching moment and you handled it perfectly! Pat yourself on the back. I know that Heavenly Father is proud of you, too, because you are created in his image and you taught your son just like he does.
Oh, I miss this kid! And I miss the friendship he and Jimmy have.
