Show and Tell
After we visited the Hague Netherlands Temple with our Primary, we came home and built one out of blocks!
Silas and Asha G., ages 4 and 7, Amsterdam, Netherlands
It is hard for me, but I follow the Holy Ghost little by little. It makes my family proud of me.
Jazmin B., age 6, New York, USA
I was drawing with chalk in our driveway, and my mom was inside our house. She had a prompting to come and sit with me outside. As soon as I sat in her lap, a car zoomed down our street going backwards. They drove right into our driveway, where I had been drawing. We are so thankful for the Holy Ghost, who helped us stay safe.
Benjamin H., age 8, Arkansas, USA
I saw a person at a restaurant who only had three fingers on each hand. At first I thought it was weird, but then I thought about Jesus Christ. He loves everyone just the same. I was born with bent pinkies. I know Jesus loves me just the same as He loves everybody else.
Elli L., age 8, Utah, USA
Once I was playing a game on the computer, and it took the Lord’s name in vain. I closed the game down and told my mom. She was proud of me, and I have never played that game again. I know I chose the right.
Sam H., age 10, Missouri, USA
My sisters and I started arguing, and we could tell that the Holy Ghost had left us. My mom asked us to sing some Primary songs instead of arguing. After we were done singing, I felt peaceful and happy inside. Good music can help us keep the Holy Ghost with us.
Madison M., age 9, Arizona, USA
I love making origami figures! Here I made Nephi, President Monson, and Joseph Smith. I help teach my family scripture stories using my origami figures.
Jaxon H., age 10, Arizona, USA
Standing Tall Footprints
I will stand tall by being generous to others.
Tristan W., age 10, Hong Kong
I can stand tall by being reverent at church and being nice to my sister.
Alyssa B., age 5, Utah, USA
On Sunday I asked my younger sister to be reverent like Heavenly Father wants us to be in sacrament meeting.
Ephraim B., age 6, Rivers State, Nigeria
I will be a good example to my friends.
Kirstie B., age 6, Hampshire, England
I can stand tall by talking more to my mom so we understand each other better.
Austin G., age 7, Utah, USA
I am very good around the house, especially cleaning the bathrooms.
Amy B., age 10, Hampshire, England
My soccer teammates were teasing my friend, so I stood up for him. I’m trying to be like Jesus and be a good friend.
Micah A., age 10, Pennsylvania, USA
I will stand tall by helping others.
