He had to give a talk in primary and I asked if he wanted to add his testimony at the end, and he said he was too nervous in front of everyone. I said that primary was a great place to do it first because there weren’t so many people. Well, here’s the talk he wrote, but he didn’t want to tell them his testimony afterwards. Remember, HE wrote this talk, not me:). The topic was “My family and I can serve others.”
“Serving is about sharing. Serving is about helping others. And to pray and to have happiness and to have happiness in our homes from serving. My family serves others by playing and service is helpful. And it’s really helpful for our friends by giving them goodies.”
He drew a picture of him serving his friend Seth. I think the Primary was enriched today. And it didn’t end there. The whole WARD was enriched when he bore his testimony similar to this:
“I’d like to bear my testimony. I know this church is true. I know that President Monson was the first one to find the gold plates and the first prophet. I know that he was very truthful and helpful. In the name of…. “
So cute. He was EXTREMELY proud of himself and said, “Mom, you were right! I got up there and I wasn’t too scared to say it!”
Walking out to the van, I smiled and asked, “So Carson, who was our first prophet who found the plates?” He said, “President Monson…I mean Jospeh Smith. Sorry, I was just so nervous.”
I do know that my little boy has a testimony–even if it comes out wrong. I feel that way sometimes, too. I’m so proud of him!
He was so cute and sweet. You could see the pride on his face, and probably even more on Dillon's face!
That is awesome, and everyone else knew who he ment. At least he tried that is all that matters! :)
It was the best! I kept being interupted by my girls, but I got to see how proud he was of himself and the relief when he was done!
great job, carson! what a great story you have to tell when he gets older…hint hint. :)
so so sweet. and funny. Kael is terrified of getting up there, and has yet to do it. maybe if his parents were better examples…
That is so cute! I can't believe what pour Devon has gone through lately! What a strong boy:) I am jealous of all of your fun crafts and "jarring", they all looked so fun and cute…its things like that that makes me wish we could be home and not on the road!
Carson and I are one of a kind…I can't tell you how many times I have accidentally mentioned that President Hinckley is still the prophet. :) What a cute kid…and so BRAVE to bear his testimony!
