Hard Work and Dedication Pays Off

Cameron was given the assignment in Primary to read a scripture and say the prayer. The scripture he was asked to read is D&C 88:119 and it says;

"Organize yourselves; and prepare every needful thing; establish a house, even a house of prayer, a house of fasting, a house of faith, a house of learning, a house of glory, a house of order, a house of God.

Cameron had one week to practice the scripture and he did everyday. I didn't expect him to memorize the whole thing, I just wanted to review some of the harder words so he could pronounce them correctly. He on the other hand was very excited about practicing his scripture. He had the beginning part down and then I would just say a key word to help him with the rest. When it was time for him to get up in front of everyone, he was so scared. The whole time he looked like he was on the verge of tears and just shook like a leaf, but he did it, he said the whole thing and I am so proud of him!! That's quite an accomplishment for a 3 year old! When we came home from church, he started to recite the entire scripture all by himself. I have included a video of his hard work.

Cameron wasn't the only one who had an obligation to fulfill at church yesterday. Spencer and I were also asked to speak in Sacrament meeting. My talk was on Obedience and Spencer spoke on Following the Prophet. I can honestly say that I actually enjoyed speaking in church this time. I didn't feel overwhelmed with nerves like I normally do. I normally rush through my talk, reading the whole thing, but I surprised Spencer this time when I took a full 20 minutes. Even though I enjoyed speaking I am looking forward to another 2 years off :)
