Sunday, we were sitting right behind the row of deacons, so we had a good view when the little 20 month old brother, in this family, followed his 12 yr old brother, up to the sacrament table, and squeezed in between his brother and the boy he was standing next to. He just stood there, like he was part of it. Then he followed his brother around while he passed the sacrament, and again went and stood between his brother and the other boy, when they came up in front of the sacrament table again. It was the sweetest thing-this tiny little guy, standing with all the big boys and his big brother. When they were done and sat down, he climbed up on his brother's lap. The whole thing was the sweetest demonstration of brotherly love! I wished I could have taken a picture because it was so darling. This sweet family were part of our temple prep class and are going to the temple in December!
Another great family came to church, after several years of not coming, and it was amazing to watch the love that was shown to them. The Branch President welcomed them and got teary when he said how happy everyone was that they were there. Everyone hugged them and told them it was so wonderful to have them there. It was truely a royal welcome home!
Another beautiful young couple who just came from Samoa, this week, were also given a royal welcome to the branch, and they bore sweet testimonies.
A wonderful Sunday in Ashburton!!
