I also shared my first testimony today. Our church was filled to the brim with visitors on their 4th of July vacation at the beach, so I really was not wanting to do it today. It's one thing to be a blabbering, tongue tied fool in front of the members of my branch--it's another thing to do it in front of so many people I don't know. I would have chickened out, but I felt that if I am asking for a Patriarchal Blessing, then I should be willing to stand and give my testimony. It seems only right.
So, all in all, it has been a very big day for the new convert.
