“Singing Time Together,” Friend, September 2022
Singing Time Together
“It’s singing time!” Sister Yang said. “Let’s start with ‘Book of Mormon Stories.’”
Sarah sat up tall. She was ready to sing! This was one of her favorite songs.
Then she saw a girl sitting alone. Sarah had never seen her in Primary.
The first notes played on the piano. Sarah started to sing. “Book of Mormon stories that my teacher tells to me.”
She looked down the row again. The girl wasn’t singing. Maybe she didn’t know the words.
Sarah wanted to share her favorite song with the girl. Sarah moved over to sit by her. The girl looked up and smiled.
Sarah whispered the next words. They sang together. Soon the girl could sing all the words!
Now singing time was over. “What’s your name?” Sarah asked.
“I’m Alexa.” The girl smiled. “Thank you for helping me! It’s my first time in Primary.”
Sarah smiled back. “I’m glad you’re here!” She was sure Alexa would learn a lot of good things—and a lot of great songs!
