52 Blessings Project: Week #23

OK, I'm up to Week #23 now, but the problem is that this is actually week #26 on the calendar- so I have to come up with 4 blessings to get caught up.... one post at a time.


Blessing # 23
Primary
At church we have a 2 hour block of time for the kids(18 months- 11 years old) to attend "Primary". It is truly a blessing to our entire family. The lessons they learn there support the things we teach at home- and vice versa. The Primary songs teach essential gospel principles in a way they will never ever forget. They learn to speak in front of an audience. I have no doubt Jillie's confidence in speaking comes from talks given in primary. Today Jackson said the prayer in Primary (well, actually he said a few things and someone else had to fill in the rest for him... but this is how it starts.) Most importantly their testimonies of the gospel of Jesus Christ have begun to grow. These pictures were taken last Sunday... on the last Sunday that all 4 of our kids attended Primary.

Now Jillie has graduated to Young Women (12- 18 yr old girls) and thanks to her Primary teachers and leaders, she's prepared for the next step in her spiritual development.
