Jonny gave his first talk in Primary on Sunday, March 31. He was asked to speak about “Jesus is my Savior”. Since it was Easter, we included that in his talk. We practiced his talk several times during the week and he could even remember some of the sentences without begin prompted. I wasn't really worried about him giving his talk because he loves to speak into the microphone. When we did this video (a practice run at home) in front of the video camera, he added, “Lots and lots of candy!” to the talk so I was a little worried about what else he would add. As it turns out, it wasn’t too bad! When he was giving his talk, he got right up there and repeated the sentences that I whispered to him. He didn’t want to hold the pictures so I did that. When we talked about “those things are fun” he mentioned his birthday and then picked right back up on his talk.
He did a good job. It was nice and clear and loud so everyone could hear well. I was too busy focusing on Jonny that I didn’t notice much else going on around us. I was told later that we went slow enough and in short enough sentences that the little kids on the front row were repeating what Jonny was saying!
