Macie gave her first talk in Primary today. She did awesome. She was so excited to get to talk in the microphone like a big girl. She didn't want anyone to help her. She insisted on going up there like a big girl and giving her talk on her own. BUT...because we know how her "lessons" she gives during the week are, we knew we may end up being there a while! So, we let her help write the talk. The theme for November is service. She REALLY wanted to talk about Joseph Smith and tell a story when she did service. So we came up with this:
Although she was a little itchy and liked the feeling of her silky dress, she did AWESOME! Good job, Macie!One day I was really sad. My friend brought me over some cookies to help
make me feel better. I did, I felt happier. Service helps other feel happy. We
are also serving our Heavenly Father.I can give service, too. When I was at storytime, there was a boy who was
sad. He started to cry. So, I held his hand and he felt better. And now we are
friends. As I did service for him to help him, we became better friends,
too.Joseph Smith is a great example of service. With the help of Heavenly
Father, he translated the Book of Mormon. I read the Book of Mormon everyday
with my family, and am grateful for the service he did for me.I hope that we can all serve others and help make others happy.

Our girls are so big! I was more nervous helping Rylee give her talk last week than she was! She wasn't nervous at all. But hopefully she doesn't have to give another talk for a while- I don't like writing them much! Good job, Macie!
What a memory that our Macie has! And it's funny that I bought the gray-white polka dot fabric in Solvang that day--no wonder I liked it! If you want, I could save it for her first prom dress! I meant to call Macie Sunday and ask her to give me the talk, but left right after church for Heidi's for a couple days--and Tommy's 7th birthday. Go, Macie!
