Standing for the Right

From an interview by Aysia Tan

Hi, I’m Evan! I live in Ireland, and I like to play a game called hurling. It’s an Irish sport that’s like field hockey. My favorite subject is math. Being a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is a blessing to me.

Standing Tall at School

A new boy at school bullied my sisters. I stepped between them and protected my sisters. I also obey the Word of Wisdom. Many students at school drink tea and coffee. When someone offers me tea, I say, “No thank you.”

Praying with Friends

I go to a Catholic school. My sisters and I are the only students there who are members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. When my grandma was sick, I asked my teacher if I could say a prayer for her. Everyone in class folded their arms and bowed their heads. I said a prayer out loud in front of the class.

Be an Example

My friends at school see that I’m happy. I set a good example by not swearing or taking the Lord’s name in vain. I can also be an example in my family.

The Best Big Brother

I make goals to keep doing what is right. I help my parents take care of my sisters. When my sisters are scared, I play with them until they forget they are afraid. One time when my parents were away, I told my sister stories until she fell asleep.

Evan’s Tips for Standing Tall

It takes courage to live the gospel.

Don’t give up.
Listen to the Holy Ghost. He will guide you.
Remember that helping other people have the gospel will make their lives happier.
