Sometimes I forget to keep the promise
to be like Jesus and obey Heavenly Father’s commandments.
I'm not always kind or honest.
I can sometimes get angry
or act selfish.
We all forget sometimes,
but don’t give up.
Following Jesus takes daily practice.
It's like learning anything new, a game,
a sport, or how to play the piano - you need practice.
Did somebody say something about
playing the piano?
Hi, Sister Porter!
It's Sister Porter from the Primary
General Presidency!
Hey, I'm over here!
Hi, Sister Porter!
Hi, Sister Porter! Hi!
Do you know, when I first started
learning the piano I could only play simple songs, and I made a lot of
mistakes.
[plays a simple rendition of “I Am a
Child of God”]
But my parents and my teachers
helped me and I kept learning
and practicing.
Can I play something for you know that
I’ve been learning? Mm-hmm.
Yeah! Okay.
See if you recognize this.
[plays an elaborate rendition of
“I Am a Child of God”]
Wow.
After you get baptized and promise to
obey Heavenly Father’s commandments, you’ll make mistakes
and not be perfect at it.
But we can pray to Heavenly Father,
ask Him to forgive us,
and help us change.
Like practicing the piano, we must
practice keeping our covenants.
It's important that we take the
sacrament each week,
repent, and make our baptism
covenant again.
Doing so, helps us continue
to receive the Holy Ghost and become more like Jesus.
What does it really mean
to follow Jesus?
How will I know if I'm doing it right?
The scriptures teach us how Jesus lives.
We know that He loves Heavenly Father
and each one of us.
He lives the commandments and
He’s kind, patient, and helpful.
We promise to do the same
when we’re baptized.
That reminds me of one of my favorite
Primary songs, "He Sent His Son". I know that one!
[Playing and singing: "He Sent His Son"]
Isn't that a beautiful song? Thanks, Sister Porter.
Thanks for letting me visit with you,
friends.
And remember, you’re not
alone on the covenant path! We will. Goodbye!
Bye-bye!
