Katesie's First Talk

Today Katesie gave her first talk in Primary. She was really nervous and wanted me right by her side, but then she started to read her talk and she did amazing! Katesie is a REALLY good little reader. So much so that I think Calvin is starting to feel the heat. Here's her talk she read today. I didn't have to help her with a single word:

Every night my family has cereal snack time. Cereal snack time is one of my favorite times because we get to eat cereal and read the scriptures. Eating cereal helps us to be quiet while we read the scriptures. There are many stories in the scriptures that I can learn from.

Nephi had brothers and they didn’t always agree on things. When the Lord commanded that Nephi and his brothers go back to Jerusalem to get the brass plates, his brothers complained and said it would be too hard. Nephi said, “I will go and do the things which the Lord hath commanded”.

I know that the Lord will only ask us to do things that he knows that we can do. And if he asks us to do something hard, he will show us how to do it. The Lord helped Nephi get the brass plates even though it was hard.

Heavenly Father will help me do things that are hard too, like reading the scriptures every day, doing chores like cleaning my room, getting along with my brothers and sister, starting Kindergarten and being a good example to my friends. Heavenly Father gave me a family to help teach me how to do hard things.

I am thankful for my parents and my sister and brothers. I am thankful for families in the scriptures that were examples for us.

I was really proud of her!
