That is what a fellow ward member whispered to me as Josh was being sustained as a deacon. Yep, Josh turned 12 (October 7). I have been anticipating this birthday for some time now; thinking how fun it would be to see Josh passing the sacrament. Somehow it never clicked that it meant he'd be going to YM's as well. Now, that I'm not ready for! Passing the sacrament, yes. Hanging out with older kids and the sudden need to feel and act older, NO!! I guess it wouldn't be right to keep him in primary would it? lol I know this is a good thing and there's not a better kid than Josh. At his interview with the Bishop, he was given a priesthood pamphlet and "For the Strength of Youth." The following Monday, I asked him to give a FHE on what he had read. He chose the section on the importance of friends. I was astonished at his natural ability to teach...he really did a fantastic job. I know it will be no time before he's teaching in the mission field and then teaching his own children! It is amazing to catch glimpses of their testimonies developing.
