Kenna's Talk on Good Works...

Dad asked Kenna to speak in sacrament. She is so much more brave than I am...I still have 3 years left on my pass, haha. Here's her talk that she wrote all by herself, with a little direction and guidance from dad. We are so proud of her.
Both grandma and grandpa Nichol and grandpa and grandma Sill came to listen to Kenna's talk and it was a sacrament meeting that will probably live in infamy!  Right in the middle of the sacrament when everything was still and so quiet, ABBA started playing somewhere in the chapel.  It sounded like it was coming from where the priests sit to administer the sacrament, but within seconds everyone could see Brother Francis, Garrett's 2nd counselor in the bishopric, reach for his ipad and fumble to turn it off.  Garrett finally said 'just take it out' because they couldn't get to the off button quickly.  Everyone in the room began quietly giggling and Garrett wasn't able to hold a straight face for the rest of the meeting...it was great!  But the best part was that both of our parents were there to see it all happen under Garrett's direction...they were just checking up on him and seeing what kind of a bishop he is :)  He got up after the passing of the sacrament and made light of the situation saying if anyone wants an ipad there's one in the parking lot right now.  Brother Francis is still getting jokes made about his ABBA interruption and the best was at the roadshow when they poked fun at him again.  Good thing he's such a good sport about the whole thing!
