Colton is turning 12 next month, and 11 has been an awkward age. I think that they just want to be part of the big boy crowd, and no longer are little kids.
But through all that, yesterday I could see the glimpse of my little boy turning into a great young man. He bore his testimony, and I think even he was surprised at the spirit of his testimony. He talked about sitting around the camp fire at their camp out this weekend listening to his leaders, and his Dad's testimonies. How he felt of their example and how he felt of the spirit testifying of its truth. How he knows when he is doing good things that the spirit is strong, and when we don't choose the right that the spirit is weak. He got a little emotional and I could see that it just wasn't nerves. As I sat in my seat with tears in my eyes all I could think about was that we were on the right path, that with all the struggles of parenthood one of the keys is the simplicity of a strong testimony and how we need to continue to feed it and let it grow.
