Playing Our Part

Primary children in Chimaltenango Department, Guatemala, performed a play about Jesus Christ’s birth! Some kids played parts from the Nativity story. Others played Book of Mormon prophets who said that Jesus would be born.

Alma the Prophet

I was the prophet Alma. It made me feel good because I know that prophets announced the birth of Jesus Christ.

I played Joseph. We looked for a place where baby Jesus could be born.
