Brooke gave her first talk in primary today. She was so cute up there. She insisted that she wanted her dad to help her. (Thankfully he got back from Alaska last night to help her). They asked her to speak about a Miracle Jesus performed while He was on the earth. So I asked her what her favorite miracle was that Jesus performed. She said very matter of factly, "When Jesus Parted the red sea for Moses and when He turned the water to blood." I was a little impressed adn a little bit shocked. Then I explained that we needed to talk about a story of Jesus when he was on the earth. She very quickly said, "My favorite story is about John the Baptist and Jesus." I probed her with a few questions about that, then I said lets think of some other stories of the miracles Jesus did while he lived on the earth. I got out the New Testament reader (it was great for her to see the pictures, too) and we went through all the stories of Jesus healing the sick, raising the dead, healing the blind, and many, many more. She picked out her favorite as Jesus feeding 5,000 with 5 loaves of bread and 2 fish. It was a great oppurtunity for us to get into the scriptures other than bedtime reading. And I was really impressed with all she knew about each story. I am truly grateful for awesome primary teachers and leaders that help teach my children the important role of our Savior, Jesus Christ.
This was her talk, or what she was going to say. A few times, when Ben would tell her what to say-she turned her head and would whisper to him, "I don't want to say that part." She is definitely a girl that knows what she wants.
Jesus performed many miracles while He was on the earth. One of my favorite stories of Jesus was when He fed 5,000 men with only 5 loaves of bread and 2 fish. This story is in Matthew 14. A lot of people followed Jesus out to a desert that was far away from houses and villages. Jesus healed many of the people that were sick that followed Him. He loved them and taught them. When it was time to eat, they did not have food. There was only a little bread and fish. Jesus looked to Heaven and blessed and broke the bread. Even after everyone ate, there was still 12 baskets of food left. This miracle shows us that Jesus can help us when we need him.

Awww, Brooke's such a cutie. How crazy is it that she knows about the Red Sea and other stories in such detail already? What a smart kid!
How funny that Eva just gave her first talk too, and it was also on Jesus' miracles. Strange. :)
