Hi, Anthony! Hi, Alice! Hi. My name is Ben.

I love to draw pictures that tell stories.

Today we're going to make a journal where we can write stories about times when we've felt the Holy Ghost. Wanna join me?

Yes! Awesome!

All you need is some paper and something to draw with.

You can use any size paper.

The first step is to take your paper and fold the pages together in half, like this.

That was easy. Now what do we do?

Get something to draw with, some pencils, Crayons, or pens. And let's decorate the cover.

I'm going to draw a sunset. Sunsets remind me of the Holy Ghost because of all the warm colors.

First, we're going to color some water.

We do this by drawing a line across the bottom through the middle.

Then we draw some other lines to be reflections.

We also want to draw some waves.

Next, we're going to draw some clouds.

At sunset the clouds are orange or pink.

The bottoms of clouds are flat.

So we'll draw two lines for the bottom of our clouds and we'll draw the tops like this.

Next, we're going to draw the sun.

You might choose yellow or orange.

Sometimes the sun is orange during sunset. I'm going to use yellow.

You'll draw a semi-circle, like this, and then color it in…

We also need sunbeams.

You can draw the sunbeams by drawing a line at the top and then two lines at the side.

Now we can measure in between and get about halfway between and draw the rest of our sunbeams.

We go halfway between again here to draw the rest of our sunbeams.

We're almost finished.

Let's add some birds.

You can make your birds by doing two semi-circles that are

connected, those are the wings.

You can draw as many birds as you'd like.

All right, let's see your pictures!

Those look fantastic! I really like them.

Thanks.

What are some other things that we can draw or write about to tell stories in our journal about times we felt the Holy Ghost? I'm gonna draw a lightbulb because the Holy Ghost is like a light that helps me know what is true.

I'll draw a heart with a smile because that's how the Holy Ghost makes me feel. Those are great ideas.

While you guys are drawing, I'm going to write in my journal…

Okay, let's see your pictures.

Wow! That looks fantastic!

Good job, Alice and Anthony!

When I'm done filling my book with stories about the Holy Ghost, I want to share it with my friends and family. Maybe they'll remember times that they felt the Holy Ghost. Me, too! Thanks for coming, Ben!

You’re welcome! Thanks for drawing with me.

That was a fun activity.

Who can you share stories of the Holy Ghost with?

Let’s see what kids around the world have created.
