I love to pray. Praying makes me feel safe. Before I was baptized, I prayed to know if Jesus is real, and my answer was YES! My answer helped me know getting baptized was the right choice.

I love to sing with the stake choir. When I’m singing with them, I feel like I’m teaching the gospel through music.

I wanted to know if I had a testimony. My mom asked me if I believed in Jesus, if I believed Joseph Smith was a prophet, and if I believed the Church is true. I said yes! My mom said that meant I had a testimony. I’m so grateful I have a testimony of my own.

I learned about charity from my mom. Charity means we love one another. I have charity when I help my classmates.
