David's Talk

David is giving the talk in primary tomorrow. The subject is I can pray to Heavenly Father. Here's his talk....
Let me tell you a story about two children. A boy who was 6 and a girl who was 7. They went for a ride one hot summer day with their dad in their grandpa’s old jeep. The drove for an hour and a half and the jeep started making funny noises then stopped working when they got to a gas station in the next town. The gas station worker said he could fix it and told the dad to walk across town to the parts store. Once they got to the store the kids found lots of things to look at and they didn’t see their dad go into the back with the manager. All they know was that they couldn’t see him. They looked outside and saw a man down the street who was wearing a hat like their dad’s. He was just turning a corner so they ran after him calling dad, dad. By the time they figured out it wasn’t their dad they were lost. They couldn’t find the store, they didn’t know where they were and they didn’t know anyone in the town. The girl wanted to go one way and the boy thought they should go a different way. How could they find their dad or at least the jeep? The girl said they should pray. The boy was scared about praying in public, but after they prayed they both started walking the same way. They found the gas station got in the back of the jeep and waited. After a little while their father came. He had also been praying that he would find them.
There are many stories of answers to prayers, Nephi was told how to build a ship and where to find food. Daniel prayed for protection from the lions, and Joseph Smith prayed to know what church he should join.
I know that I can pray to Heavenly Father for answers in my life.
I say these things in the name of Jesus Christ Amen.
