“Feeling Sad?”

My grandparents’ dog was sick, and they took her to the vet. They found out she had cancer, so they put the dog to sleep. It made me really sad. Then I saw that the Friend had come. I opened it and saw at the bottom of the page Matt and Mandy saying, “Feeling sad? Go to page 24 for the ‘Feelings First-Aid Kit’” (Sept. 2018). I turned to it, and it really helped me. Thanks for making it!

Bedtime Reading

I like it when my mum reads me the Friend magazine before bedtime.

The Friend Goes Camping!

My family likes to go camping. My mom and I read stories from the Friend in the hammock. It made me feel good and happy. We even saw an owl at our campsite!

Dear Friends,

Two hundred years ago, Joseph Smith knelt in the Sacred Grove to ask Heavenly Father which church he should join. Heavenly Father and Jesus appeared to him and talked with him face to face. On page 2, President Oaks explains that Heavenly Father can speak to us in many different ways. And on page 3 you can do a dot-to-dot picture of one way we can listen for Heavenly Father’s voice.

Love,

The Friend
