Primary Program

Primary Presidency
LtoR: Bridget Jensen, Sherri Wilde, Me, Mikell Robison
We had our primary program on October 18th, and I must say, I still have to smile when I think of it. I was so proud of the children in the primary, they did such a wonderful job singing the songs, and saying their parts. I had put together some questions at the end of the summer, that went along with the themes we had been learning this year, and had the children answer them in their own words. Their answers were what became the program. I just loved hearing their sweet and tender responses to the questions. One question was "Why is the temple so special?" One little girl said: "Because, the Holy Ghost lives there, and it is Jesus' most greatest house." Claire's answer to that question was "Because you get married there, is is so pretty, and it is Jesus' home." Such true and pure words spoken by the children. When the children were singing the song "Baptism", the one where it talks about the Savior coming to John the Baptist, the spirit was so strong and burning in my heart, as I heard these precious children of God singing their testimonies. It was a moment I will never forget. I love the children in my ward, and feel so blessed and grateful to my Father in Heaven for giving me this opportunity to be with them each Sunday. I absolutely love my calling, and am thankful for it everyday. Spencer and Lori's family came to support us, and it was so nice to have family in the audience to support us - thanks guys!

It sounds like the program was very special! Children are so capable of bringing the Spirit because they are so close to Heavenly Father! They are truly blessed to have you there serving them. What a creative idea to let the children answer questions with what they have learned and share their testimonies in their own words. Great work!!

P.S. It was so fun to see you when you were down! You need to come more often! :)

Hey Cynth! I am so happy for you that this was such a spiritual expereince and how rewarding for you also. You are so close to the spirit and have been so inspired. Way to stay in tune and put your new inspirations forth. I wish I was there to see it. Next year if you are the president still I would love to come see it and see your children too. Love you sister. Thanks for being such an example to me.

You are so pretty in this photo, Cynthia. Actually in every photo you look great - but I especially love this one.

And I really love how you got the kids to say their own words in the primary presentation. "Jesus' most best house" is my favorite. I love Claire's comments too - how precious. You are an inspired leader!!! I feel lucky to have you as a sister!

ahhh - I so wish I could have been there to see it. I'm sure it was wonderful. I love that you incorporated the kids words - "Jesus' most greatest house." What a beautiful and innocent way of saying it.
They are lucky kids to have such a wonderful primary president so close to the spirit.
