Nephi spoke for the first time in Sacrament this week. He has gotten up and bore his testimony many times to the congregation, but this was his first official talk. Children typically give talks in Sacrament starting at the age of 11. Each week we have one child, and two adults speak on a particular subject.
Nephi was asked to speak on the Youth Theme for the year.
He spoke mostly about the whole book of Philippians and how it is often called a prison letter and how Paul expresses gratitude, love, and confidence in the church members as well as describes his sacrifices he had made to follow Jesus Christ.
“I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me” (Philippians 4:13).
Bonnie took these pictures online and sent them to me. I think it is so sweet that Bishop is smiling away at Nephi. Levi is sitting right next to Bishop as well; she caught him in the picture to remember the years of service in church. Almost 4 years of being in the bishopric. Cecily was just born when Levi was called to serve. Maybe he will get to wrestle number six in the pew.
