I read the scripture in primary.

I wasn't very excited about having to read a scripture...but after I asked mom if she would help me...then I was ok with it. Before church, mom picked a scripture about missionaries and then she wanted to practice.

Mom: I'm gonna say the words and then you repeat them after me.

Me: Ok, but you have to say it quietly so the kids don't hear you. That's how the big kids do it.

Mom: Ok. But I am going to say it normal right now while we practice and then in primary I will whisper in your ear.

Me: But mom...you can't whisper too quietly or I won't be able to hear you either. So say it medium quiet.

We practiced just one time and mom thought I did a good job.

I made sure that we had mom's scriptures when we went to church and then after sacrament I wanted to carry them to primary. I sat in the "scripture chair" and held the scriptures till Jamie said it was my turn, then I got up on the step and put my scriptures down for mom. Mom put the microphone down so it was by my mouth and then I grabbed hold...

Mom whispered the words and I said them into the microphone. I didn't talk silly or yell into the microphone. I just talked normal. I did a good job...everyone could understand me. Mom and dad were so proud.
