Dad can you buy me a Rocket?

Shaffen had this conversation with Conner the other day. It made me think a lot!


The other day Conner was getting dressed and he asked me, "Where does Heavenly Father and Jesus live?" I told him they live in Heaven. He then asked where Santa lives? I told him at the North Pole. He said where is the North pole. I told him it was at the top of the earth. He then asked me where Heaven was. I told him it was way up in the sky by the stars. He said, "Well I want to go to Heaven to see Heavenly Father and Jesus, the real ones." I told him that I did not want him to go to Heaven yet.




He said very excitedly, "You can come with me!" I asked him how we would get there. He replied that we could buy a rocket and he would drive me up to see Heavenly Father and Jesus. The real Heavenly Father and Jesus. I told him that I did not have enough money to buy a rocket, and he said, "Then I will go to work and get lots of money so we can get a rocket to see Heavenly Father and Jesus. The real ones, not the picture."


Since then he has talked about it with multiple people and is offering to take them along too. I told him that I wasn't ready to go to Heaven yet. He is confused and doesn't understand why I don't want to go with him and I don't want him to go. I told him that I could show him pictures of them, he wouldn't have it he wants to see them, "the real ones!"

Conner has quite the brain. He thinks about everything. We have been reading the Book of Mormon to the boys every night. Conner has a ton of questions and always asks when Heavenly Father is going to come back to Earth. He gets so excited when he talks about it and wants to see "Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ" soon. I don't know how to explain things to him. He has such a sweet spirit and is so curious. We love this little boy a ton and I am so happy he is absorbing so much information!!!!
