First talk in Primary

Elsie had to give a talk in church today and I don't know who was more nervous her or me. She did great though. Her cute little friend said the prayer before Elsie and decided not to do it. I thought to myself "oh no, now Elsie will back out too." but she didn't she went right ahead.

When we were deciding what to write for the talk I came across a really good one about the Army's of Heleman.  But knowing Elsie I knew she would prefer to talk about a girl.  The topic was Choosing the right blesses me.  We searched for a good woman story and finally decided that we had an awesome example in our own family.  Elsie talked about Mary Fielding Smith and her faith to get to Utah.  Elsie liked the talk and especially liked that her 4th great grandma was Mary "like Jesus' mommy."  She did a great job.

I had to whisper the talk to her and she would say it in the microphone.  She kept turning her head away from the microphone, making it hard to hear her.  I finally said "talk into the microphone."  So Elsie immediately repeated "talk into the microphone."  It was so cute.  I just love this little lady. Jeron and my parents laughed because it was so cute.  She got a bit nervous after that but just kept going.  We were all so proud of her. 
 

After the talk when we were in the hallway the Primary president came up to my parent and me and said "She has such a light about her.  She is a sweetheart and I just love to watch her in primary."   I think it is so true.  Elsie has something about her that shines.  People are drawn to her.  I just love our little sweetheart with all her spunk and charm.
