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.

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