Carter's First Talk

So, Carter has somehow slipped through the hoops for many years in Primary.  He is quite shy when it comes to speaking and has never given a talk.  He has given the scripture and prayer on occassion, but never the talk.  A year ago, he even prepared one and then "lost it" in the car on the way to church, so he wasn't able to give it. 

This time, he actually followed through and did a wonderful job!  He didn't even look nervous as he spoke.  Here is what he said...

"On a beautiful spring morning in 1820, Joseph Smith went into the woods near his home to pray.  He did not know which church to join and decided to ask Heavenly Father.  Joseph looked around to make sure he was alone, then knelt and began to pray.  He was immediately overcome by some evil power.  Thick darkness surrounded him and he could not speak.  Joseph thought he was going to be destroyed, but using all the energy he had, he asked God to deliver him from this unseen enemy.  Just as he was about to give up, he saw a pillar of light over his head, and he was released from the evil force that held him.  The light came down and rested upon him, and Joseph saw two Personages whose brightness and glory were beyond description.  They were standing in the air above Joseph.  One called Joseph by name and, pointing to the other, said, 'This is My Beloved Son.  Hear Him!'  These Personages were Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ. 

From Joseph Smith's experience, we have revealed to us the first Article of Faith.  'We believe in God, the Eternal Father and in his son Jesus Christ, and in the Holy Ghost.'

I know these things are true.  In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen."
