Show and Tell
Spring!
Spring has sprung;
Winter is done.
Shout and cheer.
Spring is here!
Birds above,
Bees in the trees,
Flowers taking showers—
I love, love spring!

In my class at school there are two members of the Church—my best friend and me. We asked our teacher if we could show her a Book of Mormon. She said yes, and the next day we took a Book of Mormon to school and showed it to our teacher. I told her about Joseph Smith, and I even showed her a picture of him. Afterward I felt good because I knew I had been a good missionary.
Clara V., age 8, Denmark
One day I came home from school very sad because I had to write a story and I didn’t know what to write. My mom and I talked about how Heavenly Father could help me if I prayed and asked for help. My mom and I prayed together. The next day I was able to write a story, and it was easy. I was so happy. I told my mom that Heavenly Father had answered my prayer. The words just came to me when it was time to write!
Evan N., age 8, Washington
I read all of the Book of Mormon. It took me almost two years. My daddy gave me a coloring chart so I could know where I was in my reading. Each time I finished a chapter I colored a piece of the chart. When I finished the whole thing, I got my own set of scriptures with my name on it in gold letters.
