One of my students brought in a caterpillar she had caught today. His name...Mr. Fluffypants. His habitat consisted of a cardboard box with the top cut out of it, and a hole just the size of a plastic "insect-catching- aquarium-thing" turned sideways to fit in the side of it, the whole thing covered with a piece of fabric. Inside this home were sticks, leaves, and several torn pieces of cardboard. I thought they were just regular pieces of cardboard, but it turns out they were a bathroom, TV, remote control, and video game for Mr. Fluffypants.
When it was time for prayer requests this morning, a student raised his hand and asked for prayer for all the people in China to be able to talk about Jesus without getting trouble. (Our Bible lesson was about China). The owner of Mr. Fluffypants then raised her hand and said, "the same...for mr. fluffypants." So I asked if she was saying she wanted all caterpillars to be able to talk about Jesus. This led to a discussion between the rest of my students about communication between caterpillars and rather or not caterpillars talked about Jesus. I tried to end the conversation by saying, "Caterpillars don't talk, and they don't have souls, so they don't talk about Jesus." to which one of my students replied, "But what about Hermie and Wormie? They're caterpillars, and they talk about Jesus?" :)
She ended up praying for people in the whole world to be able to talk about Jesus.
