Answers to a Child's Prayer

Just wanted to share a cute experience that happened a week ago at church when we were in Kalispell.  We were sitting in Sacrament meeting and Griffin asked if he could go to the bathroom.  Since we were in an unfamiliar building I told him Dakota would go with him and show him where the bathroom was, but he said he wanted to go by himself.  So I let him.  A while later, Lee asks me if Griffin ever made it back?!  I hadn't really noticed, I guess I was busy with the other 3 kids, but I realized no, he hadn't, and it had been a little while.  So Lee went out to go find him.  A while later he came back with Griffin with a tear-stained face.  It turns out, Griffin couldn't find his way back to Sacrament meeting, he had tried several doors, but was lost.  Eventually he went to a private hidden corner, crying, and said a prayer.  It was at that moment that Lee happened to notice his little body knelt down in a corner.  Such a sweet little boy.  He knows his prayer was answered and that the Holy Ghost told Lee to come find him.  Lee felt inspired as well, and was obviously in the right place at the right time!  So cute, and such a great testimony builder.  All of my children are actually really good at turning to prayer whenever they need help from their Father in Heaven.  Just a week or so before this experience in fact, we were on Ashley Lake and Lee was waterskiing.  He forgot to take his sunglasses off and realized they fell off as he tried to get up on his ski.  So he let go and we drove the boat around that spot, and Lee swam around with goggles on, hoping to spot the glasses.  The water was especially clear and calm that day, but we still started to feel like it was a lost cause.  The kids said a prayer, and miraculously, we spotted the glasses a short time later, and Lee was able to dive down and get them!  Pretty lucky!  And blessed!
