Prophet Sheets

Have you met Porter?  He is somewhat, well, unique may be the best word to describe him.  If you know him then this story won't entirely shock you, but in case you don't know him then let me say he LOVES the Gospel.  He looks forward to General Conference and makes better preparations for it and listens intently to the messages better than most adults, he wishes he could say every prayer at every meal and every occasion and sometimes cries if he can't, he has given a talk more times in one year in Primary than most kids give ever, he begs to have a Family Home Evening lesson every night and he has an incredible love and affinity for the Prophet and Apostles of the church and wishes that every bedtime story be about one of them in their youth.  

Back around the time of General Conference Porter and I had been discussing ideas for his new shared room with Jack.  We had decided on colors with a touch of Super Hero theme, but then, General Conference happened and Porter declared that he wanted Prophet Bedsheets.  Taken off guard, I explained that I would see what I could (knowing that this request was an impossibility because last time I check Desert Book did not market anything of the sort because even if they did, who would buy them?).  What sort of 4 year old requests prophet and apostle bedsheets over superheros?  His LOVE of the gospel continues to amaze me and I wish that I had even a tenth of the enthusiasm Porter has for this church.  Fast forward a few months and Tom's talented Aunt Andrea had heard his unique request and set to work to make Porter his very own Prophet Bed Sheets.   Now like I said, for those of you that don't know Porter maybe this seems a bit blasphemous, but in Porter's case this desire was with respect and admiration.

And now, may I present. . . 

Prophet and Apostle Bedsheets

Tom's dad informed Andrea that after the grandchildren saw what Porter received that she would have many more requests.  Truth be told I think Porter may be the only child in history that has a desire for these sheets.  He's pretty lucky that Andrea loved him enough and was talented enough to make his dream a reality!
