Jonathan's Primary Talk

Jonathan gave a talk today in Primary and did an excellent job. He spoke clearly and confidently. I would like to say that he get's his public speaking skills from me, but I am sure that Sarah has a lot to do with it.

Here is the talk that he made up with Sarah's help and gave today.

"Heavenly Father wants us to share the Gospel with others. When Jesus lived on the earth, he told his apostles that they needed to teach the Gospel. He wants us to share the Gospel, too.
When you're sharing the Gospel, you're being a missionary. My Uncle Sam is on a mission in Indiana. He is teaching a lot of people about Jesus and about the Gospel. Our family prays every day for the people he is teaching.
You can be a missionary by telling what you believe in and being a good example.
Last year in school, someone in my class asked about what Mormons believe. Her dad had told her that Mormons are not Christian. That means that they didn't think we believe in Jesus. I told her that we do believe in Jesus. There were other kids at the table who are members of our church and we all got to tell her that we believe in Jesus Christ. We were being missionaries. So can you.
In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen."
