"Out of the Mouth of Babes"

Today was Fast Sunday and Jared wanted to bear his testimony in Sacrament. He wanted me to write on his hand the things that he wanted to say...so I did. He went up and waited his turn...and then when he got up to the podium...he read the two or three statements that I had written on his hand. He said that he would like to bear his testimony, that he knew the church was true, and that he was very excited for the time that he would get to be baptized. After he had read everything on his hand...you could see his little eyes full of panic. He looked over his hand a couple of times to make sure that he hadn't missed anything...and then he started to "wing" it! He said that he was thankful for President Monson...that he was the President...that we would be nothing without the prophet...and that he hoped that he would be with us forever...and then he said, "Amen". He was SOOOOOO brave and cute! Everybody chuckled when he first started reading from his hand because he just held it up high...and made no effort to hide that he was reading his testimony from it! I hope that Jared is ALWAYS filled with a desire to bear his testimony...and with the faith to do so without any fear! Everyone was touched by his sweet words...and by the manner which he expressed the feelings of his heart! Many people mentioned after Sacrament...that Jared's testimony would be talked about for a LONG time to come...and that it wouldn't be easily forgotten! I'm so thankful for his desire to bear his testimony...and pray that it will endure with him throughout his lifetime! ~ Christina
