Family Hunt
Ask your parents for old family obituaries. These are usually newspaper clippings that announce a person’s death and tell about their life. What do you want people to remember about you? Make a list of 10 things. Then upload the obituaries to FamilySearch.org.
One night as I was watching TV, a show came on that I had never seen before. I got a dark feeling inside. Then a very still, small voice told me to turn off the TV. After that I went to play a Primary song on the piano. I am so grateful that Jesus always answers our prayers and helps us to feel comforted.

When I say my prayers,
I feel the Spirit by me.
I know God loves me.
