Last week RJ told me he wanted to get up during fast and and testimony meeting and share his testimony. He had me write down what he wanted to share and then looked forward all week for Sunday.
Today he said he was nervous but he really wanted to get up and share his testimony by himself without any help. Jared offered to at least walk up to the pulpit with him and share his testimony as well, but RJ said no. He wanted to go alone. And he did. He was the third person to get up and did an incredible job.
We were nervous for him because he is quit and shy in a crowd. We were afraid he might stumble over his words and freeze and we wouldn't be there to help him. But he did a beautiful job. He lost his place and got a little nervous but soon over came his composure. He shared a scripture we read as a family about doing our part; having faith and keep the commandments, and our prayers will be answered.
We couldn't be more proud of RJ and grateful that he is part of our family. He has such a sweet spirit and we love him so much.
