Holden's Talk

Holden gave a wonderful talk today in Primary.  He did such a great job.  This video is the story of our life here in the Portlock Home....complete silence is almost impossible!
Just in case you can't hear or understand what he is saying this is the text of his talk....

My life is a gift; my life has a plan.

My life has a purpose; in heav’n it began.

My choice was to come to this lovely home on earth

And seek for God’s light to direct me from birth.

(words to “I Will Follow God’s Plan,” Children’s Songbook, 164–65)

  These words teach us that we lived with Heavenly Father before we came to earth. We are His children. Heavenly Father asked His Son, Jesus Christ, to create the earth. The earth was prepared so we could come and receive a body. We were also given agency, and we chose to come to earth and learn to follow Heavenly Father’s plan.

Heavenly Father loves us. He has given us His word—the scriptures—so we can learn about His plan. If we follow His plan, we will be happy on earth and return to live with Him someday.
