kai's talk

kai spoke in primary on sunday.  

dave helped him write the beginning of his talk and then kai wrote the rest.  

public speaking is not kai's favorite thing, but he didn't complain and he was full of courage. 

KAI'S TALK 

My favorite restaurant is call BACCHANAL.  It is an all-you-can-eat buffet in Las Vegas.  I have gone there twice, when i went with my dad, grandpa, uncles and cousins to watch my cousin play basketball in the West Coast Conference Tournament.

There was so much food!  And you can choose whatever you want.  We usually spend over 2 hours eating.

In 2Nephi we are told to "feast upon the words of Christ" and that "the words of Christ will tell us all things that we should do."

What does it mean to FEAST upon the words of Christ?  I think it means to be as excited to read and know the scriptures just as much as I like feasting at BACCHANAL, and taking the time to enjoy it, and take it all in.

I also like that part that says as we do this, WE WILL KNOW ALL THINGS THAT WE SHOULD DO.

Recently, I have been reading the book of Alma.  One scripture that stuck out to me was Alma 5:28.  It says, "Behold, are ye stripped of pride?  I say unto you, if ye are not prepared to meet God behold ye must prepare quickly; for the kingdom of heaven is soon at hand, and such an one hath not eternal life."

I like this scripture because it tell us to be prepared in every way.  I think to be prepared is like ready for what you are doing.  I am going to try harder to be prepared in school, sports, and also spiritually prepared.

In the name of Jesus Christ, amen.

I loved watching kai!  he didn't let fear get the best of him.  he was so sincere giving this talk and even started crying.  probably a mix of feeling the spirit and nerves.  

i am grateful to be kai's mom.  he has really good desires.
i am so excited for this year in primary.
this years theme:

I KNOW THE SCRIPTURES ARE TRUE

...and i do!  

i can't wait to watch these kids learn to apply the scriptures to their own lives and have powerful experiences as they do.
