Testimony

On this past Sunday the councilor conducting the meeting said that it was time for those who wanted to share their testimony to come forward. Carter said to Jon, "Daddy it is your turn because you have a testimony." So Jon decided that if there was a break then he would go up on the stand. (I was out in the foyer with Hannah because she was being a royal pain) So a break never came but Jon asked Carter what he would say if he was to go up and bear his testimony. Carter didn't really know so they talked about it a little bit. Well Monday on the way home from work I asked Carter if I had a testimony and he said no. Then I asked him if he had a testimony and he said no. So I asked if Daddy had a testimony and he said yes. When I asked him how did he know that he said...
"You said Daddy couldn't play with me because he was studying for his testimony."
Well Jon has been studying for the past 2 months for his Professional Engineer test. I guess test and testimony just sound too closely to the same thing for a 4 year old. I guess I know what next weeks Family Home Evening is going to be on.

Jon has taken his test last week and now we wait for 8-12 weeks for the results. We will be sure to share the news when he passes (trying to be optimistic)
