Following Jesus in Nicaragua
Meet Felix!
How Felix Follows Jesus
Felix follows Jesus by being obedient. He prays, tries to keep the commandments, and goes to church. “I learn a lot in Primary,” he says. “At Primary, there are lots of kids and we learn about Jesus Christ.”
Felix likes to play with his cousin. But sometimes he and his cousin don’t get along. “Heavenly Father helps me have patience,” he says.
Felix also helps others. At school, Felix saw that a classmate did not have a snack. Felix shared his snack. He also takes care of his younger sister. He makes sure she is safe by only eating small foods.
