Jesus
Jesus is the Savior, Redeemer, the Lamb of God, and the Son—
The one who created all that was done,
The one who was mocked, hit, and scorned,
The one who had grace upon everyone,
The one who forgave, and the one who kneeled and prayed.
He is the one who healed the leper,
The one who healed the blind, the one who healed the deaf,
The one who cares and is always there,
The one who loves you, the one who created the animals,
The one who forgave the sinners, the one who always remembers you,
The one who answers your prayers, the one who loves you and loves everyone,
The one who wants you to be with Him again, and the one who protects you.
He is the one who made the oceans, seas, rivers, and streams,
The one who wants you to live in righteousness,
And the one who made the world for you. He is the one who prospers you,
The one who made the plan come true.

Children in the Slidell Ward, Gulfport Mississippi Stake, USA, enjoyed an activity called “Scripture Hero Smash.” Five ward members dressed up like different scripture heroes. There were stations for scripture stories, crafts, snacks, and games. It was such a success that next year the whole ward will join in!
My baptism was special to me because my father and I were baptized on the same day. It was the happiest day of my life!

When I hear my friends say bad words, I tell them that they don’t need to say those words. I tell them in my own words a scripture I have learned, and it makes them happy.

I sing Primary songs to my one-year-old sister when it is time for her nap. Even though I am in Young Women, I am so thankful for Primary songs!

Whenever I see someone who is hurt or sad or looks like they need a friend, I try to reach out to them and be their friend. That’s how I’m trying to stand tall in following Jesus.

We went to the clinic to get my brother’s leg fixed. We were on the second floor. I looked out and saw the top of our church out the window and felt closer to Heavenly Father.
