“Be a Light!” Friend, April 2017
Be a Light!
“Hold up your light that it may shine unto the world. Behold I am the light which ye shall hold up” (3 Nephi 18:24).
We can be a light to others by being a true friend. Read the ideas below and add some of your own. Each time you write a name of someone you want to show love to, color in more of the sun.

Love others: You can make a big difference in their lives! Christ has love for them, so try to show them that love.
