I have been busy working on several different Primary Gift ideas. Last week I shared a 2016 Birthday Gift idea, HERE. I also shared some great Christmas gift ideas on Facebook & Periscope (post…

This afternoon I am speaking at the baptism of a sweet nine-year old son who was just adopted into our friends' family. They asked me to speak at his baptism this afternoon so I wrote this talk this morning. Our main audience will be children so I know this object lesson will hold their attention and that they'll remember what is said. Feel free to use this talk.

For Colton's baptism, I thought we'd just keep all the talks in house (like we did for Cooper's a few years ago). As Landon was performin...

This is a talk on baptism that I gave on Saturday. It was a Stake baptism and only three boys were being baptized, one of which was my nephew, Jake. I am honored to have been asked to give th…

My nephew is getting baptized on Saturday. Here is our gift to him: "Dear Anden, You are a Sweetart and Mounds of fun. We are full of Joy for your decision to get baptized. What you did today was more than a Fun Dip, it was a real Lifesaver. When you come to a Rocky Road and need Extra help, be sure to Take 5 to pray and read your scriptures Good & Plenty. We love you to Pieces!" We're so excited to give it to him! UPDATED: Another baptism candy bar poster:
