A little Confusion

Lately Kevin and I have been extremely involved with the politics of our country as the elections are soon at hand. We have been trying to teach the boys that it is important to love their country and be patriotic. One way that we can show our support and love for our coutry is to vote when you have the chance. South Carolina held their caucuses two weeks ago. Kevin took Trevor to the polls with him and let him cast the vote. Trevor proudly wore his "I voted" sticker all day long. He was so excited that he got to vote for our future President of the United States. A little over a week later President Hinckley died. When we told Trevor that President Hinckley died he started to cry. He said "Mom, did he stop breathing?". I explained to him that he did in fact stop breathing and when a person stops breathing, then they are dead. Trevor explained that he was going to miss President Hinckley and wished that he could still be the prophet. Then he gleefully looked up at me and said, "Hey, is Mitt Romney going to be our prophet now?! We voted for him, you know." I giggled at his response and had to further explain the process and differences of being the President of the Church and President of the United States. I think that he is still a bit confused but knows that Mitt Romney will not be our new prophet.
