Heidi gave a talk in Primary today! Her topic was "I can know the truth through the power of the Holy Ghost." She told the story from Carl Emil Nielsen's life story (great-great-great grandpa):
"[Carl] was baptized March 9, 1876 [at age 16]. When the pastor and his wife learned that Carl had joined the Mormon Church, they called him to their home. In a kind and loving way they told him he had made a serious mistake. After four or five days he decided to go home and talk with his mother, wondering if he had been hasty. When his mother learned of his concern, she said: 'Carl, have you prayed about it?' That was his answer. He hurried to his room and discovered how quickly God comes to our rescue when we pray."
(She paraphrased, of course.)
She got the scrapes on her nose while having a foot race with Lizzie on the driveway. She tripped and skinned her nose pretty good.
Tell her how proud I I'm of her! The talk sounds wonderful and the foot race sounds familiar, in that if you are falling further and further behind, FALL! It's a legitimate "Oh, I might have wom if only ..." Lol!
