Last week we had a singing testimony meeting at church. Nut Brown was one of the first people up, and he asked for us to sing the third verse of Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing, because he is moved by the plea to "bind my wandering heart to thee". Rose Pink also stood up and chose Abide With Me (p 165) because it was one of the first hymns she had her ward choir sing in Idaho. Rosebud wanted very much to get up too, and finally agreed that he would if I would come up with her. She chose "True To The Faith" because she likes to think about how young people can choose to embrace their parents' faith. ♥️  What great kids they are!

This morning for actual Fast and Testimony Meeting, Mr. Brown bore a beautiful testimony of how much Jesus and God love us. He told everyone that he had restrained himself last week not to get up, so they should be proud of him, but that wasn't going to keep him from sharing a hymn this week! He read us the second verse of How Firm A Foundation. 

After him, a lady stood up and thanked him, and said she didn't know his name, just knew him as Nut Brown's dad.  Nut Brown got up to share his testimony as well, and introduced himself as Nut Brown's dad's son.  Then later Rose Pink also got up and introduced herself as Nut Brown's dad's son's older sister. They are all so funny!
