An Interesting Testimony today

One of those little moments that makes being a parent satisfying...

There was a little girl in our ward yesterday that bore her testimony about primary--she almost sounded like an adult. She couldn't have been older than 8, and it was a totally mature, rational testimony about what a good thing primary was and how grateful she was that she could go there and learn and make friends.

A couple of weeks ago my little girl, who turns two this week, immediately after sacrament meeting concluded bolted from my arms and ran straight for the pulpit. She jumped up on the little stool, grabbed the mic and said, "I talk Jesus." Fortunately the mic was off. I wasn't particularly proud, but was kind of impressed that she knew the people speaking are supposed to talk about Jesus.
