So THIS Happened Today

I know.  I am a bad person, taking photos in church.  But my little girl just gave her very first talk in church!  She has always said no before and I do not know what happened that led to her acceptance, and I don't want to ask and mess up any future possibilities.

She wanted nothing to do with the writing process.  I showed her how to go to lds.org to look up her topic.  We reviewed a few articles and she just wanted to pick one.  For her first talk, I figured this was as good as it got.  So I selected one that was appropriate and short.  I should have gone shorter.

She got up, spoke very softly and read her talk (for the very first time) from the podium, looking just like this picture the entire time.  It was a 4-5 minute talk and she did it.

She was disgusted that so many people who never seek her out to talk to her would suddenly seek her out to compliment her on her talk.  Such a funny girl.  But I am super proud of her!
