Show and Tell
Primary children from the Kirtland Ward, Kirtland Ohio Stake, USA, marched in the City of Kirtland Strawberry Festival. They showed photos from ward members’ ancestors on their “family tree.” They also handed out almost 900 pass-along cards.
The Sault Saint Marie First Ward Primary, Ontario Stake, Canada, has set a goal this year to memorize one scripture a month to go along with the Primary theme, “I Know the Scriptures Are True.” They each have their own set of scriptures.
Birds and Me
Birds have legs, birds can walk.
I have legs, I can walk.
Birds have wings, birds can fly.
I don’t have wings, I can’t fly.
But I have arms to reach the sky!

My mom helped me register on FamilySearch.org. I found out that I am related to the first president of the Philippines and shared this information at school for my oral communications sharing time. My teacher was amazed that I was able to know this, and I told her about family history.

For my birthday, my dad took my brother and me to a reptile park. We saw alligators and crocodiles. After, we watched President Boyd K. Packer’s talk on spiritual crocodiles. We need to listen to our parents and our prophet so that we can be prepared against our own spiritual crocodiles.
