Primary Program

The girls had their Primary Program today at church. They did such a great job on their speaking parts. This is the 1st time I've been in Primary for the whole year and have seen the program all come together. The practice yesterday was mass chaos, but today everything came together and the kids did an amazing job. I love being a Primary teacher. I have grown to love these kids and I'm uplifted by their testimonies and faith. I'll admit that I miss Releif Society and having time to connect with other adults. I often don't go to RS activities because I don't even know about them and I feel out of the loop. But I do know this is where I'm suppossed to be right now. One of my favorite songs the kids have learned this year is "If I Listen with My Heart". I love this song that testifies of truth to me. I listened as 150 little Primary children sang the words to this song and I knew that there is nothing more important then helping these children to know and love their Savior. I have also learned that I do not need to be in an adult Sunday School class to learn and grow in the gospel. I have learned greater things about the gospel this year as I sat in a very noisy Primary room surrounded by 6 year olds. Here are the words to this song:

If I had been little child when Jesus lived on earth, I would have liked to walk with Him and listen to His words, But as I search the scriptures I can hear His words of peace, And if I listen with my heart I hear the Savior's voice.

I hear a living prophet speak the things that Christ would say, if He were here upon the earth to talk with me today. The prophet teaches how to live in righteousness and peace, And if I listen with my heart I hear the Savior's voice.

I feel the Holy Spirit as He teaches truth and right. He comforts me in times of need; He testifies of Christ. He speaks to me in quiet way that fill my soul with peace, And if I listen with my heart I feel the Savior's voice.
