A LITTLE Embarrassed

Ever since last fast and testimony meeting Leah has been wanting to bear her testimony. So for family home evening we have talked about it and she has "practiced" what she would say after we taught her what a testimony is. Well, Mylo likes to do EVERYTHING Leah does. So, of course he wanted to do it as well. Leah was excited about getting to share her testimony this past Sunday. Really I was proud of her and her courage. She has been my spiritual one for a very long time. Mylo on the other hand always throws a fit that he has to wear "fancy" clothes to go to church and almost every Sunday says he doesn't want to go to nursery. Well, after Leah bore her testimony she REALLY encouraged Mylo to go. We told him he doesn't have to it if he doesn't want to... but he did want to. So the little stinker goes up there and says "THANKS..." and starts to laugh. Leah tries to get him to say his testimony but of course she can't get him to stop laughing. I start bawling since I was embarrassed for him and for us. Dave goes up to help him and Mylo does a great job repeating what daddy tells him to say. I cry even harder because even though I was TOTALLY embarrassed and upset as to what people might be thinking, I can still totally feel the spirit as Mylo says those simple words. Sometimes my kids will embarrass me (whether it be at church, the grocery store or doctor's office) but I am sure I will embarrass them sometimes. I love Mylo for trying but he won't be doing that for a LOOOONG time. I think he has learned his lesson.
