Spiritually Speaking...
Today something super wonderful happened! It was Fast and Testimony meeting at church today and NATHAN GOT UP AND BORE HIS TESTIMONY!! Of course getting up in front of the whole congregation is scary for anyone - BUT I know that it is especially scary and nerve wracking for Nathan. He overcame his fear and shared his feelings that he knows the church is true and that families can be together forever. When he sat back down he nuzzled into me and told me how scared he was to do that but how he felt proud of himself. John also got up and bore a beautiful testimony on families (apparently it has been several months of he and Nathan elbowing each other and encouraging each other to get up and today Nathan said "I'm ready, dad."). They both shared such sweet words and it made church extra special for me!
