David David


Today was a moment every parent dreams of, David bore his testimony in church today. We have been practicing a lot at home with the kids for FHE and family scripture study and every fast Sunday we ask the kids if they are going to go up and share their testimony and they always say they are "too shy". Which I totally understand since I am usually "too shy" to share my feelings about the gospel with others, especially in front of such a large audience. Anyway, today we pulled the game bribery card-and of course he went running up to the podium. He had to wait while the lady up there finished her testimony so he was nervous and looking down at us with scared eyes, but he did so great. He bore his testimony and then when he sat down he leaned over and said-"my heart feels good right now". Isn't that great? What a sweetheart!

How special!! That is so sweet. Good job David! There was a lady in our ward who gave a 30 min long testimony yesterday-- Yikes! :) So it's a good thing he didn't have to wait for that one!

Dave the brave! Way to go. We'll have to invite you over for FHE so we can hear all the testimonies!

Go Dave! Pretty soon he'll be as fearless as his dad at the microphone! That is really neat that he got up there, and that you guys reinforce it with all the kids at home.

Congratulations to David! It is still hard for me to share my testimony in Sacrament meeting, but your're right your heart always feels great afterwards! Did mom and dad follow?
