I was one proud mama on this beautiful Easter Sunday!! Donnie is such a big boy and did an amazingly spectacular job on his talk! He remembered everything he needed to say and do - and not only that - I think he even had a "deeper understanding" of it all on a smaller level. For example - Okay - so a couple of days ago Donnie was fighting with the baby - aka Baby Lata (as he calls her) - our conversation goes as follows:
Donnie - Give it to me!! Give it to me!! Moooooooooom, baby Lata won't give me the basket! I waaaaaaaaaaaaant iiiiiiiiiiiiiiit!!
Jaz - Donnie, she had it first. You can pick another toy to play with or you can wait your turn.
Donnie - ((screaming)) I DON'T WANT TO WAIT MY TURN!
Jaz - Excuse me?! No sir!! We do not scream at mommy!! You need to calm yourself down.
Donnie - ((screaming even louder)) I DO NOT WANT TO CALM DOWN!
Jaz - You need to think of a way you can calm down or you need to go to bed and get more sleep!
Donnie - ((all of a sudden completely happy)) I know MOM!! I can read my talk!!
Jaz - That's a fabulous idea son!!
**we go through his talk**
Donnie - ....I say this in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen! Okay!! I'm calm now!!
--------and he walks away, just like that!!---------
What a sweet sweet son I have been blessed to raise and even better than that - I have been blessed to call him my son! I love this boy so much that sometimes I can't hardly stand to think about the time we will eventually have to be apart. He is such a blessing in my hectic life and has taught me more than I have taught him! I owe so much to my Father in Heaven for my Donnie.
So here is what he is saying...
JESUS CHRIST IS MY SAVIOR
JESUS CHRIST LOVES ME VERY MUCH
HEAVENLY FATHER SENT JESUS
TO DIE FOR US ON THE CROSS
THEN IN 3 DAYS
JESUS WAS RESURRECTED
WHEN WE SAY OUR PRAYERS
WHEN WE READ OUR SCRIPTURES
WE CAN GO BACK HOME TO HEAVEN
I LOVE JESUS VERY MUCH
I LOVE TO SEE THE TEMPLE
I KNOW THE CHURCH IS TRUE
I SAY THIS IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST, AMEN

That is amazing. Donnie is so smart and cute. I think that you should always keep a talk around for him to read to calm down l0l

I love it!!! He is so precious. I can't believe he is in Primary...much less giving a talk. Wow!
Honestly, it seems like you should still be in Primary giving a talk, JAZ! ( Did I just say that?) I am getting old!
Give all a hug from us!
