Working in Primary for 2 1/2 years taught me that children are amazing at understanding the gospel and having complete faith. Last month, E asked Fly Guy on Fast Sunday if he could bear his testimony. Fly Guy was surprised, but walked him up to the pulpit. Before Fly Guy could help, E stepped forward and began his simple but powerful testimony. Without hesitation he introduced himself and then said that he knew this church was true and that he loved his family. Fly Guy helped him end his testimony, while I sat in amazement. Today E asked if he could bear his testimony again. Once we said yes, he walked up to the pulpit and bore his testimony completely alone. He expressed his gratitude for his family and how he knew that the church was true and that he was sure that everyone else's family was the same as us, happy, and knew that the gospel was true. He said he loved how everyone was kind and loving to each other. I hope that I can remember to have that kind of faith and act on it more often.

So sweet! It is true, often when a child bears his testimony the spirit is so strong. As Ethan's mother, I imagine that you were blessed even more with the spirit. After all, don't we raise our children the way we do in order to ain a testimony. That's awesome!
