This is the talk that Kolby gave in his primary class at church on Sunday about choosing the right. Usually when one of the kids are supposed to prepare a talk Michael or I will sit down with him and talk about the topic, help him look up some scriptures, ask if he has any stories to share about it, and prompt him to say things that we can write down for him, then if it's one of the younger boys we will go up and help him to read his talk, or if it's Kolby he will read it on his own. But this time was the first time that Kolby basically did it without any help from us. Michael wrote down the topic at the top of a blank page, and then we told Kolby to go write his talk. He asked for a suggestion, and we said that sometimes it's nice to include scriptures, experiences from your own life, stories from church magazines, and testimonies when giving a talk. He went upstairs, and came back down a few minutes later with it all done. He looked up several scriptures that are about agency and included those, then he came up with a couple of his own personal experiences about choosing the right, and he finished with bearing his testimony after he gave his talk. Michael and I went in to watch him give his talk, and he did very well -- it was short and sweet and he spoke loudly and clearly. It sure is nice that the kids learn public speaking at such a young age at church. Anyway, here are his notes from his talk:
