Bracken's Testimony

On Sunday two of Bracken’s friends went up with their parents to bear their testimony’s. Bracken listened attentively, then said, “I want to go up there.” It was almost time for the meeting to end, so I said, “let’s do it another time.” But Erica, a 10-year-old girl who sat by us, heard him and said, “I’ll go up with you!” and before I could say anything they were running (literally for Bracken) up the aisle toward the podium. I looked at Brian and thought, “I have absolutely no idea what he’ll say. I hope he doesn’t start making silly noises or singing the national anthem.” We both had visions of having to go up and pry him away from the microphone while he hollered "I'm not finished yet!"

Erica lifted him up to the microphone, and he said, “I KNOW (then stopped because it was so loud it scared him and everyone else). He started again farther away from the mic. “I know the church is the true church.” He paused, but Erica just waited and then he said, “I know my Savior loves me. I know we are Jesus’ sheep. In the name of Jesus Christ Amen.” I went from being worried to being so proud of him and feeling so blessed and humbled. Bracken teaches and helps me be better every day. Oh how we love our little boy!
