Be A Missionary Every Day!

I saw Ross and Carson riding the horse and thought it would make a cute video clip. Little did I know what Ross would say while I was recording! So glad I have it on camera! Ross tells where he is going which ends up being where he has wanted to be a missionary!

Ross and Carson are quite the duo and so funny to watch.

Another Ross missionary story . . .
A week or so ago Ross pulled me aside and said he needed to tell me something. He told me that at homeschooling group there was a little boy that said naughty things to him and that he would try to get away so he wouldn't be listening to them. I was concerned and thought what type of naughty things?! Anyway, Ross is the only boy in his class that prays and the little boy would tell Ross things like "God doesn't answer my prayers!" or "I don't like you!" I talked to Ross and it was obvious the boy targeted Ross due to his difference from the others which that difference was that of prayer. Even though this boy tormented Ross, Ross did not stop praying but he was finally ready to tell Mommy. We talked about some of the things he could tell the boy about prayer and then all on his own Ross said "I could tell him about getting saved." Which was a great idea.

Time went by and this week we were having devotions that dealt with being persecuted for Christ's sake. I brought up Ross and he said that the boy "did not do it much anymore since I am ministering to him". Oh, GREAT! He said it so matter of factly like it was completely common for 5 year olds to "minister" to other 5 or 6 year olds! My dad pressed him on his situation at school and Ross again told grandpa that things had improved some since he started ministering to the boy and that he had told the boy that sometimes God says we can have something, sometimes He says wait, and sometimes He says No. I don't know if he has shared about salvation or not but I think he is off to a GREAT start. "DARE TO BE A DANIEL! DARE TO STAND ALONE!" Proud of my Rossers.
