Talon's Talk about the Book of Mormon

Talon was asked to give a talk in Primary last month. He is such a smart little guy. He wrote the below talk all on his own. This month he was asked to give the same talk for the Primary program. We had so many people come up to us and express how well he did. What a great boy we have! I am so proud of him for reading/finishing the Book of Mormon. For an 9 year old boy that is pretty awesome!

Talon: Book of Mormon talk
This summer Sister Pirtle challenged my primary class to read the Book of Mormon. She told us that she would give us a treat for reading it once we finished.
My choice of candy was Jelly Belly jelly beans! At first, all I could think of was those great jelly beans. I was really excited to earn my treats!
When I first started reading the Book of Mormon it was hard to understand. Some of the words were kind of confusing. But, the more I read the easier it was to understand, and I started thinking more about the book and less about the candy.
I like to read a lot, it is really fun. I didn’t know the Book of Mormon would be so fun to read! I learned a lot and I am glad that I did the challenge. I was able to finish the Book of Mormon in only a few weeks.
When I finished the Book of Mormon I wasn’t even thinking about my treat. One evening, sister Pirtle brought the treat to my house. The jelly beans were so yummy, I ate them really fast but now they are gone and I won’t get them back but everything I have read in the Book of Mormon I will have forever and it has made primary easier for me to understand.
I am very thankful for the Book of Mormon.

I say these things in the name of Jesus Christ Amen
