Emma follows Jesus Christ by being kind. She wants to be a friend to all! She likes to talk to people and play games with other kids. “I like to play with my friends and give them gifts because I like people,” says Emma. Sometimes she makes cards for her friends and family.

Emma also helps her mom take care of her twin baby brothers. She helps make meals for her family and feeds her baby brothers with their bottles. “I feel good and happy when I help. I know that Heavenly Father will bless me,” Emma says.
