FIRST TESTIMONY

I try to get up and bear my testimony somewhat regularly at church. It's not monthly, but often enough. I want the kids to see it and hope it makes an impact on them as they grow older and gain their own testimonies. From time to time one of the kids will want to go up there with me, but never want to say their own thing. But yesterday Tobin wanted to go up and try again.

We got up there and at first he was a bit quiet and I figured it wouldn't happen. But he straightened up, and belted out the fairly typical child's testimony (with a little help from me): "I love my family, and the prophet, and this church, and Jesus in the name of Jesus Christ Amen!"

I was so proud that he went through with it! He obviously has years to work on it for himself, but the first one is the toughest.
