Two weeks ago, Jackson was asked to give a talk in Primary for this past Sunday. My sister Lisa emailed me a darling little poem on Scripture Study. It was about 6 sentences long and just the right length for a Sunbeam's first talk. We practiced and practiced until Jackson had actually memorized parts of it. He was so excited to give it. So there we are sitting in Primary waiting and then it was our turn to go up. He just stood there, looking at the other kids. I tried to prompt him to start repeating after me but with no avail. When I was about 3/4th's of the way done with his talk, the mute broke his vow of silence and grabbed the microphone and finished the last two lines of his talk, loud and strong. I guess he needed a little time to warm up. My guess is that is typical of a child's first talk. The pictures below are the kids on Sunday prior to church. Jocelyn wanted to be in every photo but John-David wanted to take one of just Jackson. Jocelyn got a photo shoot of her own when Jackson was done.
