She came up with the sweetest responses, talking about why Jesus makes her happy, praying, and how much He loves her. She had it down after the first reading, but we practiced all week anyway against her will.
By Sunday morning, she was not interested in practicing at all and even spouted it from memory days earlier. We reminded her that she would have to give it today and that she wanted to do her best.
I guess her best would involve losing her talk somewhere between the kitchen and church, because even after a trip back home to look for it, we were without a talk and about 15 minutes left.
We told Ava that her talk was gone and she spouted from memory the first version of her talk right there in Sacrament. It was awesome, but what was even more awesome was her delivery of it in Primary.
When it was her turn to walk up front and stand at the primary podium, she did so without fear and simply opened her notebook, flipped it so that it was right side up, found the page we had written her talk on and proceeded to read it/recite it and then close with an Amen.
It was one of the most proud moments of our life thus far and we were able to experience in a short 4 years! Ava, sweetie, you are so talented!
