the "Little Preacher"

I was reminded the other day about Jeffie's kindergarten teacher calling him the "little preacher".  I brought Oliver cupcakes to share with his class for his birthday.  After they sang to him (a horribly long rendition of "The Earth Goes 'Round the Sun," he stood up and said to his teacher, "There is something special I want to tell you about my birthday."  He then began to tell the class about turning eight and how he had chosen to be baptized in the river at our ranch at our Horn Family Reunion this summer.  After he sat down his teacher, who is not LDS, said to me, "Some day he is going to be an amazing orator." I think for just a moment she felt the spirit and didn't know how to identify it other than to think she saw a glimpse into his future.  He  certainly reminded me how important it is to share the gospel of Christ in even a simple way. What a great example!
