My family was sealed in the temple. We were all dressed in white. Each moment in the temple was special. We are happy to be an eternal family.

Johnny T., age 10, Tahiti, French Polynesia

I am shy around new people. I knew there would be a new girl at a Primary activity. I said hi to her, and we talked for a while. The other girls also helped include her. It was so much fun! Our leaders were proud of us for helping her feel welcome, and it made me feel good.

Taylor W., age 10, Alberta, Canada

I attended the Washington D.C. Temple open house. The temple was so beautiful! I met with my bishop to get a recommend so I could attend the rededication. It was very special and holy.

Soren B., age 11, Maryland, USA

I helped my friend who uses a wheelchair move around the schoolyard. I felt that I helped like Jesus would because He always served others.

Paula L., age 8, Chihuahua, Mexico

I forgot to study for a religion test at school. I was nervous and felt I should say a prayer. When I read the first and second questions, they were about a topic I learned at Primary! I know Heavenly Father answers our prayers and listens to us.

Mateo Q., age 10, Cusco, Peru

I have had many surgeries because I was born with hemifacial microsomia. It means half of my face is smaller than the other. I have learned from my challenges that Heavenly Father will always help me.
