Show and Tell
The Primary of the Fairview Heights Ward, O’Fallon Stake, Illinois, USA, placed a star on the bulletin board each week they listened to or read the scriptures. Each week in Primary they told their favorite scripture story.
Holden W., age 9, Utah, USA, likes to ride his bike and play ball with his dog. He likes to read the scriptures and help with family home evening. He likes family home evening so much that once he taught two lessons in one night!
Hannah H., age 8, Hawaii, USA, likes to share the gospel. She enjoys bringing friends to church and activity days. She recently made a card for her new pen pal in England and cut out a Nativity scene from the Friend to decorate the card. She included a pass-along card inside. She likes to be a missionary.
Today my mom wasn’t feeling well, so I made her a snack: an orange, two cut-up carrots, and some chicken. Helping my mom made me feel like I was helping Jesus Christ.

My uncle is serving a full-time mission in Guatemala, and I miss him a lot. But I have learned that he is serving Heavenly Father, and when I am big, I want to serve a mission just like him.

One Sunday I was at church. My mum told me that it was fast and testimony meeting. I felt something inside me pushing me to tell my testimony. I was really nervous, but I went up anyway and talked about how excited I am to be baptized soon. After I talked, I felt good inside. A few minutes later, I felt my tooth wobble. I thought it was going to come out, so I told my mum and went to the bathroom. When we came back, my tooth was out. I told everyone it was my “testimony tooth”! Now when I look at the space where my tooth was, it reminds me of my testimony.

My Father Lives and Loves Me
I know my Father lives,
And a special gift He gives.
The gift He gives is love.
It descends from up above.
He loves us all around,
From heaven to the ground.
