What do you think of my frog? He needs warts.

I agree.

Mi hijo, what are you thinking of right now? I'm thinking this kid was born without a funny bone. I'm totally hilarious, but I'm getting nothing.

Hmm, we need to have a chat after church.

What? What’d I do? Are— are you mad at me? No, not at all. But we need to talk more about the sacrament.

Will you organize a family discussion after dinner? Okay. Can I be in charge of treats? You're really close.

You may. Yes.

I want to show you something. Miguel, do you have the bread? Good. Sophie?

Now, what do the bread and water remind you of?

The sacrament. Jesus’s body and blood.

The sacrament prayers help us remember Jesus and the promise or covenant we made with Him at baptism.

Izzy, as you listen to the prayers, what covenant do we make when we partake of the sacrament? We promise to always remember Jesus and keep His commandments. And as we keep that covenant, He promises that we can have His Spirit with us to help us. Do you know what the bread and water remind me of?

That Jesus came to earth to help us with two things we couldn't overcome on our own. When I eat the bread, I remember that Jesus sacrificed His body on the cross. Now what happened to His body? He died and was resurrected. He conquered death. Mi amor, when you drink the water, what do you remember?

I remember the blood Christ spilled as He paid the price for the sins of every person on earth. And because of that, if we repent, we can be forgiven. He conquered sin! No one else could have overcome sin and death for us. Only Jesus Christ. Now, Sophie, close your eyes. Miguel, you too.

Miguel, when you think about the bread and sacrifice of His body,

what do you see?

I see the...

the empty tomb.

And what does that mean to you?

That because Jesus Christ died for us and was resurrected,

all of Heavenly Father’s children will be resurrected one day.

That is very good.

How does it make you feel?

Really good inside.

Sophie, what do you see that reminds you of the water? I see...

I see...

I see the olive trees in the Garden of Gethsemane.

And it's night time.

It’s where Jesus took all the sins of the world upon Him.

How does it make you feel when you see it?

It makes me... happy-sad. Sad because he suffered so much.

But happy because Jesus made it possible for us to repent.

It makes me feel that way too.

When Jesus overcame sin and death, that is what is called the Atonement of Jesus Christ.

And when we remember what He did for us as we take the sacrament, it becomes the most special time of the week. Next Sunday when we take the sacrament,

practice remembering what we’ve talked about.

Even try closing your eyes and remember what you saw, if that helps.

Thanks mom and dad.

We love you.

I guess I now turn the time over to Sophia, who's in charge of the treat.

Drum roll.

[DRUM ROLL SOUND]

Dad is going to make his famous mint frosted cakes.

You said you wanted to be in charge of the treat.

I am! I’m the treat manager, and I’m assigning you to make them.

Okay, guess I'm making them. Can I at least have some help? Absolutely.

Miguel will be your sous chef.

You’re not going to help with anything? Ah, you think you’re clever, don’t you? Oh. Come here.

Dad, I can see you right there.

Oh, I’m out of breath.

That hiding place only worked when I was really little.

I need to get in shape.

Thank you.

Remembering Jesus
