So Proud!

Evan and Eli have been counting down the days to our primary program! I think they were both excited and a little nervous too! Last week the primary chorister called to see if they would be willing to sing a verse of "This is my Beloved Son" together. They were a little hesitant but after having the "we always say yes when people ask us to help at church" talk they agreed to sing the song. We don't have a piano, so in order to practice we linked to the church website. It worked great and every -so -often throughout the week I would hear the song start up accompanied by Evan singing! He is getting good at finding the correct pitch and even experiments with a little vibrato at times!! (thanks to his cousin Claire!) They both also had speaking parts. Eli said a little line about Faith and they asked Evan to tell an experience about the Holy Ghost. Last weekend while I was scrapbooking my mom helped him write a short talk- It was perfect (thanks mom!). They had a pracitce yesterday and Evan told me that when it was his turn to practice his part that his "tummy hurt just like before your going to throw up!!" I tried to reassured him the best I could... I didn't want to tell him that I still get that feeling when I have to speak in front of people! Anyway, I was so proud of my boys today! They are so brave- they remembered all the correct words. They smiled. Evan looked up as he spoke, he remembered to speak slow and clear- Grandpa Kim would have been proud!! Their mom sure was!!
