Tanner's First Sacrament Talk

Tanner was asked to give his first sacrament meeting talk last Sunday. He did a fabulous job! We were all so proud of him! He thought I was nuts to take a picture of him before church, but someday he'll thank me! He had to speak on Courage and did an amazing job.. complete with a few jokes at the bishopric and some great stories too. Here's a clip of a little bit...

"Good Afternoon… As Brother Bryce said, my name is Tanner Kenison. This is my first talk and I spent a long time working on it so hopefully my Dad and Br. Bryce will stay awake long enough to hear it!

President Thomas S. Monson has said:
“Life’s journey is not traveled on a freeway devoid of obstacles, pitfalls, and snares. Rather, it is a pathway marked by forks and turnings. Decisions are constantly before us. To make them wisely, courage is needed: the courage to say, “No,” the courage to say, “Yes.” Decisions do determine destiny. The call for courage comes constantly to each of us. It has ever been so, and so shall it ever be.”

Last year my family and I went to Nauvoo, IL to be in the Nauvoo Pageant. Before the show we would walk around the seat’s and ask non- member’s if they wanted to know more about the gospel. At the time I was only 11 and it toke a lot of courage to be able to walk up to a stranger and talk to them about the gospel."

Tanner continued on with many other great stories and scriptures.. Much better than some adults in my opinion!

Way to Go Tanner!
