Testimonies

Today was Fast Sunday, thus Sacrament Meeting. We have never really talked about bearing testimonies with Kyra before. In church, one of Kyra friends went up and bore her testimony. As soon as she got done Kyra got off my lap, and started walking up the aisle. I thought it was to say hi to her friend. So I grabbed her hand, and put her back in my lap. She threw the biggest fit. She started sobbing. So I quickly picked her up and took her out. She continued to sob out in the hall. I tried to tell her that she can say hi to her friend after sacrament meeting. Finally she calmed down enough for me to understand her. In between breaths she said "No mommy, I wanted to bear my testimony." And started sobbing again. I had no idea. I asked her "Well, baby, do you want to talk about it at FHE tomorrow, and you can do it next time?" She said "No I want to do it now." I asked "Well what would you say". This is what she said "I'm thankful for Jesus." I try to be nice to my brother. He's the only brother I have. Thank you for the Holy Ghost, for helping me not be scared." I said "Oh okay!!" So I took her up. She froze when she got up there, but I was so proud that she wanted to go up, and how much she WANTED to say!

Kyra was so cute! Even though she didn't really say anything, Dustin leaned over and said "That's why I want a girl!" It was precious!
