Nick's persistence...

Just this last Sunday (Fast Sunday) we went to Sacrament Meeting in Greg's Singles Ward.  After Bruno Frampton (1st Counselor) gave his testimony, Nick started to say he wanted to bear his testimony.  He did not want to go up alone and asked me to go up with him.  I said I would, but I was really just hoping he would chicken out.  He had never wanted to bear his testimony before.
Once he knew I would go up with him, he could hardly sit still and kept saying, "Let's go!"  He told me what he wanted to say and he kept repeating it softly to himself.  We went up as three other people went up.  We had to wait our turn up on the stand.  He was going crazy trying to wait his turn.  When I finally said okay, he jumped up and went right to the microphone.  He had no fear.  I, of course, was shaking and my heart was beating so loud, I thought anyone could hear.
Nick did a great job, short and sweet!  I got up after and could hardly speak.  I was a blubbering mess knowing my little boy had a strong enough feeling about the Gospel and Jesus Christ that he wanted to share it with no reservations!  I am proud of you, Nick!!
