Avery's Primary Talk...

Theme: The Gospel Will Be Preached in All the World

Scripture: “This gospel shall be preached unto every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people” (D&C 133:37).

When Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ ask us to do something, it is called a commandment.

When we obey the commandments, we show Heavenly Father and Jesus that we love them.

When Jesus Christ was alive on the earth, he commanded the members of the church to spread the gospel to all of the world. 

Today, we are still commanded to spread the gospel to everyone on the earth.

We can set an example for others by always doing what we know is right. 

We can tell friends at school about the church. 

We can invite other children to activities or to church.

Spreading the gospel to others helps us remember who we are. 

The church could grow a lot more, if we spread the gospel by telling other children about it.

I know that we can choose the right and obey the commandments.

I know that when we obey, Heavenly Father blesses us and our faith in Jesus Christ is strengthened. 

I say these things in the name of Jesus Christ amen.

Maddy's Primary Talk...

Theme: My Body is a Temple.

Our bodies are like temples, sacred and clean. 

They need to be treated with respect by ourselves and others.

Just like the temple, it's a place where the Holy Ghost can come.

If we want the Holy Ghost with us we need to care for our bodies.

We should eat healthy and obey the Word of Wisdom.

If you are clean in mind and body you can receive great blessings.

I say this in the name of Jesus Christ Amen.

Steve wrote Maddy's talk and I helped him read it. Maddy was excited and did such a great job! I'm so proud of my sweet little boy that is growing up way too fast.

Maddy's Primary Talk..

Maddy was assigned another Primary talk on Sunday. He wasn't nervous at all and was actually excited to give it. He did a great job! Here it is (Steve wrote it for him and I helped him give it)...

Theme: Jesus Christ is a God of miracles.

Jesus Christ is the Son of God, and through him we will be saved.
We will be saved according to our faith.
We have to have faith in our Savior and ourselves.
Jesus is the God of miracles.
He is always ready to help us and guide us, but we must be worthy and have great faith in ourselves first.
We must read the scriptures and pray often and try hard to do what is right.
I say this in the name of Jesus Christ amen.

A month or two ago the Primary Presidency gave all the kids a CD with the songs on it they will be singing for their program in a few weeks so they could all learn them. Once they listen to the CD all the way through 15 times they get to bring in their check off paper and get a treat. Maddy finished a couple weeks ago but we forgot to bring it in the following Sunday. He brought it in this past Sunday and was so excited to get his treat. Of course his favorite song is "Follow the Prophet."
