I'm going up there!

As I was doing Porter's hair for church on Sunday, he stood on his stool and looked in the mirror and said, "I look like a missionary!"  Who knew this was the start of a Sunday that I would never forget.  Porter loves when Bishop Brink comes and shakes his hand.  Porter is so proud of his scriptures and loves showing Bishop Brink his scriptures.  After sacrament Porter looked around and then said to me, "They are late."  It took me a second and then I realized what he meant.  I told him that we don't have speakers on Fast Sunday, we bear our testimony of the gospel. We can tell everyone that we love Jesus and are thankful for him and all that he as done for us; like giving us scriptures to read.  Porter says strongly, "I"M GOING UP!"  I said, "OK, Do you want me to go with you?"  He said, "No."  Then Scott asks, "Do you want me to go with you?"  Porter immediately said, "Yes."  So Porter walked up with Scott, opened his scriptures ready to bear his testimony. Then Scott whispered in his ear what to say.  Porter pulled the microphone away from himself and turned it to Scott and said, "Daddy, you say it!" 

I was teary eyed and loving every moment of that Daddy and son experience.  As Scott served a mission in Boston, I am looking forward to sending Porter on a mission to serve the Lord.  At such an early age, Porter was determined to take his scriptures up and want to bear his testimony.  I am so proud of him that he knows that scriptures are important and that Jesus loves him.
