A Prayer Is Answered

By Cherry G. Wolf

(Based on a true story)

Susy went to church after her Primary teacher invited her. Susy’s mom and dad did not go to church, but every Sunday they drove her there. Susy liked Primary.

One day Susy was outside playing dolls with her next-door neighbor Mary. When they went home for lunch, the girls left the dolls there. Later that afternoon the girls returned to get their dolls. But Susy’s doll was missing. She looked and looked, but could not find it. After supper she came back to look for it again. Still, she could not find it.

Then Susy remembered what her Primary teacher had told her about Heavenly Father and how He loves all His children and will answer their prayers. Susy decided to kneel and ask Heavenly Father to help her find the doll. When she stood up, she had a feeling that she should look behind the tallest pine tree. Sure enough, the doll was there! Susy ran quickly home to tell her mother that she had prayed and found the missing doll.

“Maybe I should go to church and learn how to pray to Heavenly Father, too,” her mother said. Susy’s mom and dad did go to church. And her mother learned how to pray to Heavenly Father and was baptized and confirmed a member of the Church.

On the Go

By Juliana Lewis

Kittens pounce—and so do I.
Crickets bounce—and so do I.
Snails creep—and so do I.
Goats leap—and so do I.
Boas slide—and so do I.
Eagles glide—and so do I.
Donkeys clop—and so do I.
Kangaroos hop—and so do I.
Tigers stalk—and so do I.
And every now and then
I walk!
