Matayia's Talk

Matayia volunteered to give a talk in primary last week. When she came home from primary she was so excited to write her talk herself. Her talk was supposed to be on how she can be a good example for her family. She thought and thought about this subject and wrote a short talk by herself. ( I really only helped her a little bit)

It went like this...

I am trying to be like Jesus, I am following in his ways. Jesus set a good example for us, and I can set a good example for my family. 10 ways i am setting a good example are...

1. Being nice
2. Being helpful at home
3. Listening to my teachers
4. watching good TV
5. Obeying my parents
6. Being honest
7. Talking nicely
8. Going to church
9. Paying tithing
10.Sharing with everyone

All of these things are important, but I want to talk about my favorite three.

1. Being nice to others, Jesus said " a commandment I give unto you that you love one another as I have loves you" Being nice to others is sometimes hard but I know Jesus is happy when I show love to everyone.

2. Being Honest, In the 13th article of faith it says... We believe in being honest. When I am honest I am happy.

3. Watching good TV. There are lots of different shows i can watch on TV. But sometimes there are shows that say bad things or are not good. I can be a good example by turning off the TV and walking away.

I am trying to be like Jesus by setting a good example for my family and friends. I am happy when I am a good example. In the name of Jesus Christ Amen.

I loved how much thought Matayia put into this talk, gone are the days of me writing her talk and making her memorize it, just another sign of her growing up.
