Church Talk

Levi had a talk to give in primary today and I decided to use the IEW format to give it structure.  He kind of crawled around on the floor doing his own thing as I asked questions that built this talk.  As he was giving it, when he got to the part about toys he stopped and said "I don't know why I put that in there..." It was adorable how flustered he got realizing that talking about toys in a talk wasn't appropriate.  I love that he is learning what is appropriate.  Yay pragmatics.

Introduction

When I became 8 I got baptized and then I received the Gift of the Holy Ghost.  The Holy Ghost gives me good feelings joy, comfort, gratitude.

Topic 1:  I’m grateful for the thriftstore with cats right across the street

Details:  Animals make me happy and the cats are very playful.  God made animals and He made me too.

 

Topic 2: I’m glad I have fun toys.  Toys are fun to play with and God wants me to be happy.

 

Topic 3: I’m thankful for my happy life.  I have nice parents.  I have brothers and sisters.  I have a healthy body.  I have a good mind. I have the gift of the Holy Ghost. 

Conclusion:

The Holy Ghost helps me feel patient and forgiving of others.  He helps me feel thankful for all I have.

 

I know God Loves me because He has a plan for us to be resurrected and He gave us the Gospel.  The Holy Ghost will help you feel grateful for your blessings.
I say these things in the name of Jesus Christ.  Amen.
