“Margo and Paolo,” Friend, May 2024, 34.

Margo and Paolo

Margo sadly playing with little brother

Mamãe? I said something mean to my friend today. Now I feel terrible.

Margo smiles and props herself up on one elbow

Wait, I know! I can just get baptized again! Then I will be all clean.

Mamãe and Margo talking

You don’t need to do that. You can repent right now and be forgiven. And when you take the sacrament, you can promise to do better!

Can we say a prayer together? I want to tell Heavenly Father I’m sorry. And I’ll tell my friend I’m sorry tomorrow.

Mamãe smiling

Of course.

Margo praying with Mamãe

That Sunday …

Margo taking the sacrament

I’ll try harder this week to be kind! I know Heavenly Father will help me.
