Chase's first talk in Sacrament Meeting

So Chase turned twelve and had the opportunity to give his first talk in church this week. He did such a great job! I was so proud of the time he took to write it and especially his willingess to practice it with me over and over- learning to slow down and speak clearly. His rehearsing paid off- he delivered it fantasitcally and our ward was so kind to give him all sorts of positive feedback. What a great, confidence building experience for a twelve year old boy! I'm so proud of his great effort and willingness to work hard at what was asked of him.

He has posted the text of his talk on his own blog "To Be Decided Later" which is off t0 the left in my blogs column. Feel free to give it a read and tell him how you liked it. (I think it's great and tells a lot about Chase that he uses jalapenos as an example of his favorite, most loved thing to put on a sandwich... He certainly adds spark and spice to the sandwich of our lives!)
