Sometimes I forget to keep the promise to be like Jesus and obey Heavenly Father’s commandments.
I'm not always kind or honest.
I can sometimes get angry or act selfish.
We all forget sometimes, but don’t give up.
Following Jesus takes daily practice.
It's like learning anything new, a game, a sport, or how to play the piano - you need practice.
Did somebody say something about playing the piano?
Hi, Sister Porter!
It's Sister Porter from the Primary General Presidency!
Hey, I'm over here!
Hi, Sister Porter! Hi, Sister Porter! Hi!
Do you know, when I first started learning the piano I could only play simple songs, and I made a lot of mistakes.

But my parents and my teachers helped me and I kept learning
and practicing.
Can I play something for you know that I’ve been learning? Mm-hmm. Yeah! Okay.
See if you recognize this.

Wow.
After you get baptized and promise to obey Heavenly Father’s commandments, you’ll make mistakes and not be perfect at it.
But we can pray to Heavenly Father, ask Him to forgive us,
and help us change.
Like practicing the piano, we must practice keeping our covenants.
It's important that we take the sacrament each week,
repent, and make our baptism covenant again.
Doing so, helps us continue to receive the Holy Ghost and become more like Jesus.
What does it really mean to follow Jesus?
How will I know if I'm doing it right?
The scriptures teach us how Jesus lives.
We know that He loves Heavenly Father and each one of us.
He lives the commandments and He’s kind, patient, and helpful.
We promise to do the same when we’re baptized.
That reminds me of one of my favorite Primary songs, "He Sent His Son". I know that one!

Isn't that a beautiful song? Thanks, Sister Porter.
Thanks for letting me visit with you, friends.
And remember, you’re not alone on the covenant path! We will. Goodbye! Bye-bye!
