One Shot at a Time

I liked the story “One Shot at a Time” (May 2018). I think that it was cool that missionaries got to play basketball and then got to teach about the Church afterward at the stadium. It was also interesting that they influenced other members to teach people about the Church even if they weren’t missionaries.

Worry-Free Sleep

Every night, I read the Friend before sleeping. Whenever I read it, I feel happy and my worries go away. It has helped me when I have worries. Thank you for the Friend!

One in a Million

I like to watch One in a Million videos on children.lds.org to learn about children from around the world. I go to church with my tío and tía (uncle and aunt).

How I Read the Friend

I took a copy of the Friend on a trip to Lake Powell in Utah. I read it in front of Hole-in-the-Rock, which is where early pioneers crossed the Colorado River.

Dear Friends,

Have you ever heard someone talk about ministering? It’s a word that means being kind and helping others, like Jesus would. This year we want you to help our Kindness Garden grow (page 3)! We also want to help you and your family learn more about the New Testament. Turn to page 24 for a scripture reading chart!

We love you!

The Friend
