Robert was so nervous about giving his talk.
He unfortunately had procrastinated the preparation until the weekend, and then he was invited to the lake so he felt vey unprepared.
He took his scriptures with him and his talk guidelines. When I got down their Saturday, we worked on his talk together. He pulled some very good scripture stories and some stories from the Ensign.
Sunday morning Robert gave a wonderful talk on Forgiveness quoting a story about a women that forgave a young man that threw a 20 pound turkey over the overpass that fell through the front window of her car and crushed her face. She forgave him. He also quoted the scriptures of the lord that forgave his servant that owed him 10,000 talents, when the servant begged forgiveness, but then that same servant didn't forgive his servant a debt of only 100 pence (Matt 14). He finished with a scripture from D&C 64 - I the Lord will forgive whom I forgive, but as for you it is required to forgive all men.
