remembering when

Today, Brianna gave her first talk in Sacrament Meeting. She did such a nice job. She wrote the talk herself last Sunday, so that she could look it over during the week. I helped her find some useful links on lds.org on her computer and Doug printed a couple of talks that she asked him for so that she could use them as a reference.

That got me to thinking about the first talk that she ever gave in church. That was in junior primary in the Coral Springs Ward and the Pompano Beach Stake in south Florida. She had only been living with us a few months and was still having a hard time sitting quietly in Sacrament meeting. She was three, and she was a Sunbeam. She said the words to a little known primary song called God's Love. I had printed pictures from the internet to show the children and remind Brianna of the various parts of her talk. She had memorized it. It was wonderful.

Her testimony has grown and it is a blessing to see her in YW striving to do her best and continuing to broaden her knowledge of the Gospel. It is wonderful!
