Primary Talks

I wanted to post a couple of talks that the boys have given in their primary class at church. The first one is Kolby’s from June, and another one of Kolby’s from September, and one of Camden’s from April:

“The fourth Article of Faith says, “We believe that the first ordinances and principals of the gospel are, first faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, second repentance, third baptism by emersion for the remission of sins, fourth laying on of hands for the gift of the Holy Ghost.” Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ leads us to love Him, trust Him, and keep His commandments.
When you have faith in Jesus Christ, you love Him because He died for us because He wanted us to come live with him again. Jesus did that for us because he loves us.
When we have faith in Jesus Christ, we trust Him. In the scriptures, Jesus made promises to us. He promised us that after he had made a flood in Noah’s time, he would never send a flood over the whole earth again. Jesus promised that if we have questions about the gospel and we pray about it, we can get answers. And He promised that if we obey His commandments and follow Him, we can live with Him again and have eternal life. When we trust Jesus Christ, we believe that He will keep his promises.
And when we have faith, we keep the commandments because we want to live with Him again. Some things that I try to do to keep the commandments are: read my scriptures, go to church, and listen to my parents and my teachers. In November I am going to be baptized, which is another commandment of Jesus Christ.
I’d like to bear my testimony . . .”

“The scriptures teach that the gospel will be preached in all the world. This means that the teachings of Jesus will be spread in all the earth by missionaries. There are other scriptures that talk about this too.
In Doctrine and Covenants, section 57 verse 10, it says, “And thus provide for my saints, that my gospel may be preached unto those who sit in darkness.”
In Matthew chapter 28 verse 19, Jesus says, “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.”
And in Isaiah chapter 2 verse 3, Isaiah prophesies that “out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.”
I’d like to bear my testimony . . .”


And this is Camden’s talk:
