What Did He Just Say?

This morning Dawson came into my bathroom and asked,
Dawson: "Mom, why did Andee die?"
Me: "Well, remember you told us. She had to go back with Heavenly Father. Heavenly Father needed her more up there than we needed her."
Dawson: "Well, she is with family too."
Me: "Yep. She's with Grandpa Stevens, daddy's sister JoAnn, daddy's aunt JoAnn, and other family members."
Dawson: "Well in like 20 weeks we are all going to die and be back at the place that I was at before I was born."
Me: "Oh really? 20 weeks?" (I'm astonished and feeling like he is telling me prophetic things)
Dawson: "Ya. That place is a happy place and there's no bad things and no one is sick."
Dawson: "Then we will see Andee again and she will be small again like when she was born.")
Me thinking, He's seen her and knows she isn't a baby right now. He remembers the plan of salvation and remembers where we came from. He is remembering!! I start to tear up.
Dawson: "Mom?"
Me: "Ya?"
Dawson: "When we see Andee again, I will help you teach her to make right choices cuz she won't understand or know."
Me thinking, how could Dawson possibly just know that in the new millennium, we have to teach Andee right from wrong without sin, since there won't be any sin during the new millenium. That's something that J.D. and I ponder all the time and try to figure out how we are going to teach Andee. No here's Dawson, who has never heard us pillow talking about it, and he's telling us that he will help us?!That's really deep doctorine and he's only 5! It's just speaks so much truth and builds us up even more. There is no way the gospel couldn't possibly not be true. There's too many things that we've experienced for it not to be. I love it! 

When Dawson was born, J.D. and I received some amazing revelation about the type of person Dawson would be. We both got it, but didn't talk about it until a couple weeks later. When talking, it was amazing that we both felt the same thing. It just strengthened our testimonies. Now we are seeing it come true every day. Children are so amazing and I tend to just want to hear more answers when they start talking about things like this. I'm so grateful for Dawson and his sweet spirit. 

I know this is really personal, but I hope that whoever reads this is strengthened. I also want Dawson to have this to look back upon if ever his faith is wavering. Love you little man!
