Kelvin gave his first talk in church this past Sunday. It was so sweet I thought I would include it on my blog:
"Hi, my name is Kelvin Lewis. I was born is Mozambique which is a country in Africa. Our Primary theme this month is:
"I can pray to Heavenly Father, and He will hear and answer my prayers."
Six years ago, I was living in an orphanage. Every day I prayed to have a mom and a dad.Through many miracles, I was able to join my new family on July 20, 2008. I now have a mom and a Dad who love me very much and I love them.
I know that the scripture in Mark chapter 11 verse 24 is true:
"What things ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them,
ye shall have them."
I am grateful that my prayers were answered. I know that Heavenly Father loves me and that he loves you too. I have a testimony of the gospel of Jesus Christ. I know that President Monson is a prophet and that Jesus is my Savior. I say these things in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen."
