Court of Honor

Jonathan and Fred had a Court of Honor last night.  Jonathan was presented with his First Class badge and his Photography merit badge.  He is really close on Pet Care and Dog Care.  We almost made him rush through and finish in time for the Court of Honor, but decided that it was best that he take his time.  He will have it finished in the next couple of weeks.  He is also pretty close on Public Speaking. 

I am so thankful for Fred's calling in Scouts.  It has been so good for Jonathan.  It has helped him to work hard and be enthusiastic for the program, where he might have otherwise been frustrated with it.  And, through the Scout program (and good friends), Fred has become active in the church again.  (I once thought it would be my love and good example that would bring him back to church, but it turns out it is hanging out with loud, sweaty boys. Whatever it takes, right?) 

We truly are blessed.
