The multitude did gather themselves together, and they both saw and heard these children. Yea, even babes did open their mouths and utter marvelous things.

[SINGING IN SPANISH] Handbook 2 teaches, "The annual children's sacrament meeting presentation gives children an opportunity to share what they have learned in Primary." Children participate by singing, giving talks, sharing scripture passages, and bearing testimony. [SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE] We believe that the first principles and ordinances of the Gospel are first, faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. Joseph Smith decided to act upon the scripture. So one spring morning, he went to a grove of trees near his home to pray. Thank you for making me some miracles. And I say these things in the name of Jesus Christ, amen. Amen.

Following the guidelines in the outline for sharing time, the Primary presidency prepares to sacrament meeting presentation under the direction of the bishopric. Leaders seek guidance from the Spirit as they plan and adapt the presentation to the circumstances of the children.

[SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE]

[SINGING IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE] Although not every child needs to participate individually, leaders help all children feel included through singing. When children learn and share the words of Christ, as in giving talks, singing hymns and Primary songs, and bearing testimony, they feel the witness of the Spirit, and their faith grows. [SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE] I'd like to bear my testimony that I know the Church is true and that I know Joseph Smith lived and had the first vision. Repenting to be baptized is the most excellent thing in my life that I have done. I know that the Book of Mormon is true and that there is a prophet on the earth today. I'm so grateful for my family, friends, Primary, and teachers, and the missionaries. And I say these things in the name of Jesus Christ, amen. This simple witness of children in the annual children's sacrament meeting presentation can help all to feel the love of Heavenly Father.

As your presidency plans your children's sacrament meeting presentation, how can you strengthen the testimonies of individual children? How might their participation strengthen their families in the gospel?
