Tanner's First Talk in Church

So, it has been awhile since I have posted anything but, today was a pretty special day. Tanner gave his first talk in church. His topic was "Endure to the end." He was pretty excited about it, I think. When the first counselor asked him, I did not know how he would react. He thought that it would be fun to talk in church. I saw the excitment in his eyes. He did a great job as he stood in front of a couple hundred people and read the talk he prepared. He was a little nervous when he started, but I could tell as his talk progressed that he was more comfortable. I see a future missonary in him. He wrote his whole talk by himself. Derek and I gave little help. He seems to be a very spirtually in-tune young man. We have seen this in him from such a young age. At times, it seems that he teaches us rather than us teaching him. He is such a good example to so many people around him. I can't be more proud of him. He is truly growing into a fine young man. We continually get compliments on what a great young man he is. The years have flown by and I have a son that can give talks in sacrament meeting. It makes me feel a little old, but I am glad that he has made good choices in his life so that he can share his testimony with others. I loved listening to him today. What a great son we have!
