Sunday was testimony meeting and T & S were trying to talk each other into going up to bear their testimony. T really wanted S to do it, but S was very nervous. Finally they wrote down what S would say on a piece of paper. He was very close to going, but then decided he didn't want to go by himself, then decided he couldn't do it at all. T went up to do it all by himself. I was so proud of him. He gets very nervous in front of people. Then after that S didn't know if he wanted to do it or not. He didn't want to let his brother down. He got himself so worked up that he started crying. Then he told me that he was scared, but he was still thankful. I told him it was okay to be scared and that he didn't have to do it. Then he looked at me with his big-melt-your-heart-eyes and said, "Mom can you just go up and bear your testimony?" How on earth could I say no to that? So up I went, even though I had just given a talk 2 weeks previously. When I came back to my seat, S gave me a big hug and with tears still in his eyes said, "Thank You! I love you!" What a sweet boy. It amazes me the faith of a child. I know he was feeling the spirit, and that is what moved me to go up and bear my testimony. I am so thankful for my children and for the wonderful example they are to me. I truly feel blessed.

You are doing a good job with your kids if this is what happens in your family during sacrament meeting. Awesome!

Isn't it great when they feel the Spirit and it's so obvious.
That is just so sweet!

I hope Liam grows up to be just like him! What a sweet sweet heart!
How sweet! Kids are constantly amazing me on how much faith and trust they have. What an awesome mom you are!
What a great experience! You sure do have a great influence on those kids of yours. :) Maybe next time he'll be able to go up. Public speaking is the number one fear people have. And the second most popular? Dying. I think he'll go when he's good and ready.
That is so sweet and I love that picture!
