"I have a speech to give"

Today I was enjoying a little "baby holding" time after sacrament meeting and asked my kids to go to their classes by themselves.  As I headed to teach my class, I stopped by the primary room to check on the kids.  Zander was sitting in the front as if he was ready to give a talk.  I panicked a little, because I don't remember him being assigned to speak, so we weren't prepared.  The primary president came up to me to tell me that Zander walked in to the primary room and said, "I have a speech to give today and I want to say what I have to say, not from a magazine (Friend)"  I was a little nervous, I had no idea what he wanted to say.  It turns out the little girl that was supposed to give the talk was sick and they needed someone to give a talk.  Well, apparently Zander was ready to go. 
I pulled him aside and asked him what he wanted to talk about...."electricity" he said.  Well, good luck, I told the president.  And I went on to my class. 
I checked up on him after class and this is what I was told,

"Zander gave an amazing talk.  He did a great job, said what he had to say, then sat down."

After church I asked Zander to give us his talk....and this is what he shared with us.

"I have some things to share with you, God gave us electricity.  With electricity we can see things, like with a flashlight.  If there is a dark hole, you can use the electricity to see down it"

Now, I am no doctrinal scholar, but if you were to really listen to what he was saying, was he not talking about The Light of Christ.  What a great missionary he will be.  So blessed to be able to have him call me mom, and that the Lord has trusted Carl and I to raise one of his choicest sons.
