Jack was asked to give his first talk as a youth speaker in Sacrament meeting last month. His topic was Jesus Christ's birth. Jack's always been extremely independent, never asking for any help on schoolwork, science fair projects, reports, etc. Everything he does is always his own work without any parental assistance. Sometimes it's a little more obvious than others, like when a poster project is quickly done with sloppy writing on the title and subtitles and the other students have their stuff all typed up nicely and pasted on their poster. The nice thing is that he's always gotten perfect grades and he knows he earned it, not his parents.

Obviously he didn't ask for any ideas or help with his talk or act nervous (completely opposite of me who has an extreme fear of public speaking). I kept waiting for him to start working on it during the week. Nothing happened. Then Saturday night he spent about 5-10 minutes on the computer and announced his talk was done. I asked him what he was speaking on. "The Nativity". Perfect!

On Sunday morning about 15 minutes before he needed to leave to church to start getting the sacrament ready, I asked him if I could read his talk. It was a very different Nativity Story than I'd expected. It was an unbiased, historical, non-Christian view of Christ's birth and life. I asked him what references he had used to write his talk. Wikipedia. I started laughing and panicking a bit. I showed his talk to Gavin who had the perfect solution. He opened up his scriptures to Luke 2 and had Jack read this account of the nativity story. Jack had found his talk. He read Luke 2 and gave his personal testimony of his Savior and it was amazing!
