ALLIE SPEAKS!


Today Allie gave a talk in Sacrament meeting. She has spoken several times in Sacrament meeting but the big thing about this time is, she wrote her own talk. I mean ALL of it! She wouldn't even let us suggest places to look or things to talk about. Her subject matter was pretty easy, it was the "Importance of Family". She referred to the Strength of Youth pamphlet and had a couple of scriptures then referred to a talk by a General Authority. She spoke in her own words how she felt about her own family also. (this was a little scary!!) All in all she did a great job! I am soooo glad she got to speak first, right after her was one of our full time missionaries. He is from Australia and she LOVES! his accent, I am not sure she could have spoken so clearly and calmly after he spoke, yeah, she is at the right age to really think the missionaries are cool!!(19 year old boys, 17 year old girls!! go figure!)

Way to go Allie!! My own son Jordan who has already left and is in the MTC now refused to speak in Sacrament Meeting. (anxiety) Weird coincidence, he is going to Australia. I hope he comes home with one of those sweet accents.
