Ella’s Helping Hands
Ella likes to include others. She doesn’t want anyone to feel left out. She really loves her cousins. Some of them are in her ward. She looks for them at Primary each week.
Her cousin Lehi lives in Germany. When he comes to visit, Ella makes sure he feels welcome. She invites him to play with her and her friends.
Ella and her family like to help people in their neighborhood too. At home, she does her chores gladly and helps her brothers do their chores too. Ella says that serving makes her happy.
