Primary Talk

Yesterday, Ava gave a talk in Primary. Her talk was about following Jesus's example so that we can return to Heaven to live with Jesus and Heavenly Father. This was only the second talk that she has given and she amazed me! I thought that she might be a little nervous, but the thought never even crossed her mind!
We wrote a little talk together & colored pictures, and then we read it through a few times together, with me telling her what to say. After a few minutes of this, Ava decided that she understood it all really well, and wanted to say the talk in her own words, without my help! And that is exactly what she did!!! I literally did not say one word to her, she did it all on her own! She practiced a few times out loud for me, and this little video is one of those times. Each time she practiced, the talk was a little different, but the message was basically the same.
It has just struck me lately how much she is growing and learning. It is so fun to see her change, but it makes my heart ache just a bit to see my little girl get so big. Thankfully, she seems to know just when to snuggle up to me and tell me that she will always be my baby girl! I am so proud of my sweet Ava!
