Hazel and the Scriptures

We went over the Dave and Shaury's this afternoon. Hazel (2 1/2 years old) took my hand, pulled me off the couch, into the kitchen and opened her mother's church bag. She pulled out Shaury's set of scriptures. She took my hand again, pulling me into her bedroom and had me sit on her little bed. She knelt beside me and pulled open the fastener and opened the scriptures. Funny - she opened them to Nephi. She then proceeded to "read" me the scriptures, saying words like "Nephi...scripture"s, then turning a few pages..."Nephi...scriptures....candy" and, with a little coaxing, she'd nod her head and say "Yeah...Lehi...Lamen...Lemuel...". Apparently after Hazel and her family read every day, they can have a piece of candy:)  Her favorite phrase is "It came to pass." It was a very sweet experience for Hazel and her Gram.
