Colt bore his testimony yesterday in church for the first time ever. He didn't want any help, so he walked right up there on his own and sat next to Bishop. There were several people to go before it was his turn. Once he got up there, he squared his shoulders and began...it was a bit mumbly and sounded like a prayer with "bless us to have a great time" and such. You could tell he was a bit overwhelmed and wasn't sure what to say. He ended and as he sat down next to Bishop he put his hand to his forehead like "aw man! I totally blew it." It was sooooo precious and so cute. Bishop whispered to him that he could sit with his family again, so he walked/ran back to us. He fell into my arms and hid himself in my chest and started to cry. I whispered in his ear that I was so proud of him and that Heavenly Father loved him soooooo much! I could tell he was embarrassed, but seriously, I was so proud of his courage to go up there on his own! His two older brothers didn't even have that courage. Doug then held Colt and tried to help explain the feeling of the Holy Ghost so Colt could maybe understand why he was feeling emotional...I think Doug must have been in tune to talk to Colt about that. It was a special moment as parent to witness though!
