Seriously, I'm just not ready.

Today, while my daughter was coming out of YW's after church, the new missionary we just got (who-by the way-has been to our house for dinner and met our family) introduced her to an investigator who has been investigating the church for about 4-5 months. Really, really nice guy, but doesn't speak very much English. The elder said that the guy (who was also standing there) wanted to write to her, and would she be interested?.. so the daughter said, "um ..sure..." thinking he meant pen-pals. She was a tiny bit puzzled at why the guy would wanna be pen-pals...he's probably 25-30 years old. The elder must have caught on to her puzzeled look-- because he then asked her how old she is... and was totally embarrassed when she replied "13". The guy apologized profusely... and everyone had a good laugh. When the elder relayed the story to me... I laughed...but deep in the back of my mind... deep in the places only a mother can know.... I shouted: "OH, NO... NOT YET!"
