Textview not responding to it's respective functions

I was looking at Text View Placeholder Swift. And it seems to me that I did everything that this post has told me to do. However, it is not working. More specifically, the textViewDidBeginEditing() and textViewDidEndEditing() functions are not executing. And the reason why I think this is because I wrote the println("hello") and println("YO") but it is not printing anything to the console. Anybody have a solution to fix this problem?

Here is my code:

import UIKit

class WritePrayerRequestViewController: UIViewController, UITextViewDelegate {

    @IBOutlet weak var writePrayerRequestTextView: UITextView!

    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()
        writePrayerRequestTextView.becomeFirstResponder()
        writePrayerRequestTextView.layer.borderWidth = 0.5
        writePrayerRequestTextView.layer.borderColor = UIColor.lightGrayColor().CGColor
        writePrayerRequestTextView.layer.cornerRadius = 7
        writePrayerRequestTextView.textColor = UIColor.lightGrayColor()
        writePrayerRequestTextView.text = "Write your prayer request here."
    }

    func textViewDidBeginEditing(writePrayerRequestTextView: UITextView) {
        println("hello")
        if writePrayerRequestTextView.textColor == UIColor.lightGrayColor() {
            writePrayerRequestTextView.text = nil
            writePrayerRequestTextView.textColor = UIColor.blackColor()
        }
    }

    func textViewDidEndEditing(textView: UITextView) {
        println("YO")
        if textView.text.isEmpty {
            textView.text = "Write your prayer request here."
            textView.textColor = UIColor.lightGrayColor()
        }
    }

    override func didReceiveMemoryWarning() {
        super.didReceiveMemoryWarning()
        // Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
    }

}

are you sure the UITextView's delegate is assigned correctly? eg writePrayerRequestTextView.delegate = self in the viewDidLoad
