Isaiah's First Talk

Isaiah gave his first talk today. It's the first of many I hope. He spoke about President Gordon B. Hinckley. He drew a picture of him, shown at the right. I'll write here what he said. It is good enough to include here.

This is President Hinckley.
He is our prophet.
God talks to him, and President Hinckley talks to us.
President Hinckley helps the poor and needy.
He teaches us to do our best.
He teaches us to be nice to our teacher and our friends.
He wants us to go to church to worship Jesus.
He helps us obey the commandments and not kill, cheat, or lie.
I want to follow the prophet.
Follow the prophet.
In the name of Jesus Christ amen.

There is a large chunk of heaven in every primary room around the world. No wonder Jesus loves little children. It feels so great to be in the primary because of their willingness to believe and be taught. No-it's not that. It's hard to put into words. Listening to a child repeat that we're children of God, that God loves us, and that by obeying God we can be happy causes deep reverberations in ones heart. It's powerful, to me anyway.

Here's a quote from C.S. Lewis in The Magicians Nephew: "Now the trouble about trying to make yourself stupider than you really are is that you very often succeed. Uncle Andrew did. He soon did hear nothing but roaring in Aslan's song. Soon he couldn't have heard anything else even if he had wanted to." May we recognize the little truths and works of God and not reason them away.
