Preston's First testimony

I told myself that I better hurry and write that down in a blog. Today, it is Preston's first time to get up and bear his testimony all by himself. He shared his testimony of the holy ghost. During the sacrament meeting, I signaled him if he was willing to share his testimony. The night before, when I was brushing my teeth in my bathroom, he came down from upstair and told me that he heard the holy ghost. He told me that while he was playing game with Dad, his mind was blank and then the holy ghost told him that he left his glasses in the backyard. I thought wow, the companionship of the holy ghost is with Preston and glad to hear that he is in tune with the spirit and realize that the holy ghost reminded him he left his glasses in the backyard. So, he got a piece of paper and wrote down his testimony and prepared to bear his first ever testimony. I was so proud of him and when he got up to the stage, he was very calm.

I always try to come to the Eureka and they always do fun sciences stuff with the kid. This time, they are disassetting the owl and ... see what they eat.

Preston's Baptism

'Today is a very special day for you.' That what we have been telling Preston. He turned eight last month and the stake baptism date is scheduled on 2/5. However, we had stake conference that day, so Preston's baptism changes to 2/12 which is today Saturday. Time does fly and when he was borned in South Carolina. I was asking myself when he would turn eight. Now he is eight, he starts the boy scout program. It seems a new chapter of my life. It is an interesting thought for me. Anyway, he is so excited about his baptism and I am sure that he is longed to be a member of the church. We had talked about the ordinances of the baptism and helped him to understand why he needed to get baptized. We did our own baptism program since he was the only one get baptized this month. We had Brother Russ Shurtz to do the baptism talk, and Brother Ebert to do the gift of the holy ghost. Both gave a wonderful talk. And Preston did his own musical. He played the hymn 'He sent his son' and the 'Baptism'.
