LAst week testimony

Last week, during song, scripture and prayer, Tommy bore his testimony to the family. After he asked us to share ours. Owen went first and it was a beautiful testimony for a 5 year old. He told about loving our family and sharing and being nice. Then he warned us about being mean and to say sorry. He is so cute.
Nifae was very emotional when Tommy and Owen bore their testimonies. When it was his turn I thought he might have a hard time emotionally but he pulled himself right together. He bore the most amazing and mature testimony I have heard. At 7 years old he told us that he knows and loves Jesus Christ and Heavenly Father. He said he knows the Holy Ghost will help us whenever we need it. He said that the HG will help us to feel happy or help us when we are scared. He bore testimony of prophets and missionaries. He expressed his love for us and told us that he knew the scripture are true and that they help us.
'The spirit was so strong. He spoke with so much surety. Tommy, Joey and I all looked at each other to see if everyone was hearing this.
We were all just blown away. I have never heard such a young person share such a strong testimony with so much conviction.
I can not begin to describe the joy I felt when I heard this or when I think about it. Nifae at the age of 7 has such a powerful testimony. And Owen is right in line spiritually with where Nifae was at his age.
They both amaze me and are such awesome examples to me.
