Quincy's sweet testimony

I wanted to write this down before I forgot. Several months ago in fast and testimony meeting Quincy leaned over to me about 5 minutes before the meeting would end and told me that she wanted to go up there. I was shocked and instantly panicked, because I knew that would also require me to go with her! She is braver than I am and I was not planning to bear my testimony this day. I asked her if she had in mind what she wanted to say and we talked for a few minutes...a few too many minutes because then the counselor in the bishopric stood up and closed the meeting. She was disappointed to say the least. For the next month she asked every week if it was the meeting where she could go up and bear her testimony. It was actually two months later because we were out of town the following fast Sunday. Finally the day came and she marched up there right at the beginning of the meeting. She did it all by herself and bore a very simple sweet testimony. She has gone up every week since, including the week of her baptism while Grandpa and Grandma Southwick were attending church with us. They were impressed with her courage. I know that she does truly have a testimony. Very simple and new, but nonetheless a testimony of her own. For this I am truly grateful.
