Stories I Can’t Forget

This summer, in Indiana, I read this picture book of the Book of Mormon to Auri and Brylee. We finished the book and I had a prompting to say a prayer with my girls and ask if what we had read was true. They answered yes, so I told them that we would pray and ask and then after we would be really quiet so we could listen for the spirit. That was all I said. I said the prayer and asked if what we had read was true. Then we sat there. Brylee was only 3 and was able to sit still for only a minute but after a little bit longer, Auri turned to me and said mom I have this really warm feeling right here (she was touching her chest). I never told her how an answer might come, but this was a testimony to me that the spirit is very real and you don’t have to be a certain age to feel it. I was able to explain to her that the Holy Ghost was answering by that warm feeling she was feeling.
A cute story about my sweet Brylee is that I asked her if she wanted to watch a show, and she immediately answered yes. Then she changed her mind and said let’s wait and watch it when auri can watch it with us so she isn’t sad. I then told her that we didn’t have to tell Auri that we were watched the show. She turned to me and said “Mom, I have Jesus in my heart and I cannot tell a lie.”
They both have such sweet spirits and I am so grateful and nervous to be their mom! I hope I can show them how their Heavenly Father is real and always there for them!
