We Must Be Great Public Speakers

Porter is giving his SECOND talk in Primary tomorrow. Yes, number two. Numero dos. And he's only been in Primary since January.

Gotta love the kool-aid mustache.

They kind of have a screwy was to decide who does what. They have all the kids names on index cards inside of a mailbox (normal size mailbox, not cute, small, decorated mailbox), then they pick the cards on Sunday for the following Sunday. It just seems like the same kids keep getting the same things over and over. This would be talk number five for our family in the last year. Hali got it twice towards the end of last year, then Porter got one in the Spring. Regan was so disappointed that she hadn't gotten chosen for a talk for like two years, that I went to the Primary President and asked if she could schedule her in there somewhere, so about three weeks ago, Regan gave one. And now, Porter again. Only my kids would be begging to give talks.

Porter is actually really great. For being four, he has no problem in front of the mic. I know, this is Porter, no, I'm not surprised. I just thought he'd get up there and make weird noises and say "HI" with his mouth practically eating the mic. But he didn't. He repeated everything I told him to say. I was so proud.

So, earlier we were practicing his talk and he repeated after me like an old pro. Although, he sometimes gets a little confused. Example: I say (for him to repeat)

"Is passed in front of you."
(It's a talk about taking the sacrament. You know, so the above sentence will sort of make sense) and Porter says
"Is passed in front of me."
No, no, Porter. "Is passed in front of you."
"Is passed in front of me."
Ugh. No, Porter you need to say the word "you".

He finally got it, but we'll have to see how it goes tomorrow.
