Carter's Big Day

Carter's First Talk

About 4 weeks ago (Feb 15th), Carter gave his first talk.  (I know I'm WAY late on posting).  He was so excited!  His talk was about how we is a member of a family.  We incorporated a story from the Friend, told by President Hinckley.  President Hinckley told us to have a strong family chain--not to be a weak link.  So we had Carter make his own chain.  He practiced his talk and had it memorized.  We practiced standing on a chair and talking loudly into a microphone.  When the big day came, he was very excited!  He got up, recited his talk (with a couple hints from mom), held up his chain, and did a great job!  Yeah for Carter!  He absolutely loves Primary and Sunbeams.  Plus it was a very special moment for his parents...their oldest child giving his first talk in primary!
