Dear Friends,

It’s fun to think about what a new year will hold—a special birthday, a baptism, or a new friend. We’ve planned some new things for you in the Friend this year:

• A special section of stories and activities for our 9–11-year-old readers. Look on pages 44–47.

• An easy-to-play Primary song in each issue. Look on page 7.

Let us know how you like our new features.

Happy New Year!

The Friend
