The Children's Speaking Parts for the 2016 Primary Program

ldsclipart.com
The children chose their themes and wrote their speaking parts, with some help from the Sharing Time manual and their parents.

Aiyana (6yo): October

Prayer is reverent communication between God and Me. I can pray to God, and he hears me. When I get scared I pray to God to keep me safe. At night I say my bedtime prayers. From reading scriptures, they have taught me how to pray. I have learned that God may not answer my prayers right away, but He does when the time is right. Through my prayers I have developed a strong bond with God. I love going to church whenever I can.

Cameron (10yo): June

The theme for the month of June was “The first principles and ordinances of the gospel make it possible for me to live with God again.” We talked about faith in Jesus Christ leads us to love Him, trust Him, and keep His commandments. The next week we learned that repentance brings forgiveness. On the third week, we talked about when we are baptized we make a covenant. On the fourth week, I learned that the Holy Ghost comforts me and guides me. In the name of Jesus Christ, amen.

Gabe (my 3yo): September

The gospel will be preached in all the world. “This gospel shall be preached unto every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people” (D&C 133:37). I can be a missionary now by going to church and singing.

Caden (my 6yo): May

The Church of Jesus Christ has been restored. “I saw two Personages, whose brightness and glory defy all description, standing above me in the air. One of them spake unto me, calling me by name and said, pointing to the other—This is My Beloved Son. Hear Him!” (Joseph Smith—History 1:17)

Joseph Smith translated the Book of Mormon. He made the first temple. He got the priesthood and was baptized, and that makes me happy. The bad guys killed Joseph Smith, and I feel sad. I know he was a real prophet.

Honesty (7yo): June

My topic is “The first principles and ordinances of the gospel make it possible for me to live with God again.” The first principles and ordinances of the Gospel are 1) faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, 2) repentance, 3) baptism by immersion for the remission of sins, 4) laying on of hands for the gift of the Holy Ghost.

We need faith in Jesus Christ because it will help us love Him, trust Him, and learn to choose the right and keep the commandments. God said if we keep His commandments, we will be able to go up in heaven with Him.

Repentance is when you do something bad and make it right by saying sorry and not doing it again. We have to feel sorry for doing bad things so that we can choose the right and go to heaven and live with God someday. In Enos 1:5–8, it says: “Enos, thy sins are forgiven thee and thou shalt be blessed . . . because of thy faith in Christ . . . thy faith hath made thee whole.”

Baptism is when we get dunked under the water and all the bad stuff gets washed away. We make a covenant or promise with God to choose the right. Baptism is the gate that leads to eternal life.

After we are baptized, we are given the gift of the Holy Ghost. The Holy Ghost gives us comfort and helps us do what we need to do and choose the right. He is a great friend that walks with us on the path back home to live with God.

Kaydin (4yo): November

Reverence is love and respect for God. When I say my prayers I am showing God how much I love Him. Also I am showing God that I have respect for Him. I also take part in sacrament, which is showing my love for God.

It was precious when Gabe and Caden recited their parts for us on FaceTime last week.

New URL Coming Soon To Avoid Using "Mormon"

photo by ilker In light of President Nelson's talk in October 2018 general conference , I will be changing the title and address of this blog very soon to eliminate the use of the word "Mormon." Because I won't be buying a domain name, I don't know what the new URL and blog name will be yet. I'm not very literate in the website world, so please bear with me as I roll out these changes. I'm trying to learn as much as I can quickly to reduce broken links and errors. Thank you, and I hope you keep reading my blog!

Little Girls No More

Read this article . And we wonder why girls as young as eleven are losing their virginity and why there are so many sexual predators out there. The company argues the padding is for modesty. On the one hand, that is understandable. My little sister went through puberty very early, and my mom had a hard time finding a little-girl bathing suit that covered my sister completely. On the other hand, if parents are so worried about modesty, why are they letting their little girls wear bikinis, especially if they are starting to blossom at a young age? Why can't little girls just be little girls? They'll have the rest of their lives to be grown women. Childhood lasts only for a brief moment. And once it's over, most everyone wishes at some time or other that they could go back. I apologize this isn't actually a doctrinal post. But this problem of sexualizing our little girls really bothers me. As members of the Church, we must set the example and dress our children modestly fr...

"Be Thou an Example of the Believers" at Home

Today, my husband and I spoke in sacrament meeting. Here is the first part of my talk ( read Part 2  and Part 3 ): “The effect of our words and acts is tremendous in this world. Every moment of life you are changing to a degree the lives of the whole world.” Those are the words of President David O. McKay.* If we have such an astounding influence over the world, we need to be examples of righteousness. As Paul counseled, “Be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity. . . . Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in so doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee” (1 Timothy 4:12, 16). The Lord said, “He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also” (John 14:12). So to be an example of the believers is to do what the Lord has done so that we can “save [ourselves], and them that hear [us].” We usually apply this principle to missionary work, but it also e...
