WILLIAM
A couple of Sundays ago after church William said, "I had a moment at church when I really just felt good about the scriptures. Like, I understood that they are important." I asked him what might have prompted that feeling. He said that at the campout that weekend (11-year old scout campout up in Logan Canyon) he and three other boys said their personal prayers before going to bed. (I was shouting with joy inside that they were doing this!!) He decided to ask in his prayer if the scriptures are true. "I guess that feeling at church was my answer to my prayer." The beginning of a testimony is such a beautiful thing.
SAMUEL
Last Sunday Sam was assigned to recite the 6th Article of Faith in Primary. Brandon worked hard with all the kids through the week to get it memorized. Sam had it down perfectly. He recited it beautifully. We were probably overly proud, but who wouldn't be, right? Well, a couple of days later Sam was looking through the May Ensign and came across the picture of all of the General Authorities. "That's a lot of missionaries!" He exclaimed. I explained to him that it was a picture of the prophet, apostles, and seventy. His eyes lit up and he said, "Wait, prophets, apostles, pastors, teachers, evangelists, and so forth!" "Yep!" I said. That is what the 6th Article of Faith is talking about. Later that day I was walking through the house and found that he had pulled that page out of the Ensign and pinned on the wall right by the front door. I love that he made a connection not only between the picture and the Article of Faith, but also that he could sense the importance of those faithful men.
