Show and Tell
Fifty Primary children from the Littleton Colorado Stake, Colorado, USA, helped sort donations after a flood in Colorado. The children wore Mormon Helping Hands vests and loaded clothes, toys, furniture, household items, and diapers into a large truck. One child said, “It felt good doing something for someone else.” Another said, “It makes me happy and proud because this will make a difference in their lives.”
Connor L., age 5, North Carolina, USA, loved visiting the Raleigh North Carolina Temple so much that he wanted to make a model of it.
Abigail B., age 9, Texas, USA, had her art shown at a museum in New York City. Her art was selected from hundreds of entries from across the United States.
We were having a fire by the river and were cooking marshmallows. I lost my CTR ring. I prayed to Heavenly Father to help me find my CTR ring. My little sister, Isabel, found it for me. I said thank you to her. Heavenly Father answered my prayer.

When I was trying out for baseball, I was nervous that I might not make the team. Then I thought of the song “I Am a Child of God.” I started to sing it in my head. I did a great job at the tryout, and eventually I made the team. I am glad that I could sing to calm my nerves and do a good job!

My name is Skyy Elizabeth, and I will be baptized when I turn eight. When I was four years old, I was sealed to my parents, and I still remember that happy, special day. I have a baby sister named Olivia, and I love to sing Primary songs to her all the time. I love my family very much! The Friend helps me choose the right and learn how to make smart choices, even when something is hard to do. It also helps me learn Primary songs even better. I love to look for my own magazine in the mail each month.

The Holy Ghost
The Holy Ghost warns me of things to come,
But in a still, small voice not heard by some.
It helps me to realize things I did that were bad,
Which makes me feel ashamed, but by repenting I am glad.
It makes me feel nice when I’ve done something good.
So does my family when I did something I should.
It’s the most precious gift I’ve ever got.
I want to keep it safe and sound in my thoughts.
Sage M., age 9, Arizona, USA
