Ashley's First Talk

This Sunday Ashley had the opportunity to give her first talk in Sacrament Meeting. Given that Ashley loves to talk and also lives a live audience, she was more than happy to share her thoughts and feelings regarding Service, as it relates to the For the Strength of Youth pamphlet.

Since Ashley had abused some computer-time privileges earlier in the week (playing on the computer and surfing the net vs. doing homework), her mean ol' mom held strong to her computer-free grounding and made her research her talk the good old-fashioned way: BOOKS. To Ashley's credit, she hunkered down and put some serious time into reading through numerous books that covered the topic of service. The end result was fabulous. Ashley wrote and delivered a wonderful talk and bore a beautiful, heart-felt testimony. We are so proud of you, Ashley! You are a sweet, wonderful daughter of God!

When did she give the talk? You might want to put the date in here. What about a picture? I would love to see that cutie pie. I think I beamed all day that Carson gave his first talk. These kids are amazing. Way to go Ashley!
