A Leader Like Jesus

And the Lord … shall stand in the midst of his people, and shall reign over all flesh (D&C 133:25).

One Sunday, my Primary friends Rebecca and Crystal were going to another ward.

That would make me the oldest child in my Primary class. I was pleased, but two of the boys sometimes don’t respect me—maybe because I play with them too much. So I try to be a better person.

One of the two boys, Sammy,* doesn’t always pay attention in class. Sometimes he makes fun of me and makes me angry. But I decided to not get so angry. That’s how you become a better leader. Jesus Christ would not get angry if He was here. I know that Jesus is true and is our Savior. It’s hard to be a good leader, but it is good to be a leader like Jesus Christ.
