(Written by Josh for a talk in primary)
Prayer is a reverent communication between God and me. In the Book of Mormon, Enos prayed for days and nights. He gained remission of his sins and was promised salvation for the Lamanites. This was done through prayer.
Another example of prayer is Joseph Smith. He prayed for an answer of what church to go to and Heavenly Father and Jesus came to him. Now when we pray, Heavenly Father and Jesus might not come down from heaven, but our prayers are always answered.
Six years ago when my brother Caleb was born, doctors said he wouldn't live for more than two weeks. We all prayed and prayed that Caleb's body would be strong. How he's still alive, and he's lived for about 178 times longer than they thought.
Prayer is talking directly to God. How he always answers prayers, but "no" is an answer too. Sometimes he waits for a while before he answers so we can learn something. I bear my testimony that prayer is true. I know because my prayers are answered. I know that the church is true and that President Monson is a prophet.

A wonderful talk by a wonderful grandson.
I love primary talks! The children are so sweet! Great talk.
Beautiful talk, Josh! I love what you said about Caleb. It also reminded me, when you talked about Enos, that after a long prayer, when you were like 2 or 3, your Dad said to you, "That was a long prayer, huh Josh?" And you said, "Yeah, like Enos!" I thought it was so funny and cute that such a little guy knew his scriptures so well!
