Greetings from Bonaire!
Today we had our Primary Sacrament Meeting Presentation. The theme this year is "I Know My Savior Lives". We have practiced for a few Saturdays and as usual we wondered if everything would go ok. Though our numbers are few they all put their best foot forward and it was a great success .
We have a small Primary but they have a lot of heart! Sister Albus has done a great job teaching them, the Primary songs in Papiamentu and Dutch, and all 6 of them sing with gusto and volume. Melody, 12 said a scripture even though she is out of primary. Jayfi is 10 got kind of shy as he read his scripture and covered his face as we sang and the other 3, Gisley - 8yrs., Dayra - 7yrs., and Mayra - 5yrs, said their testimonies beautifully. Very sweet. The 5 nursery children were surprisingly still as they stood up and held a banner with the words in Papiamentu "I Know My Savior Lives"
Think of the incredible gift it is for our little children to know that their Savior Lives. The primary organization is critical in teaching the children precious truths of the gospel that can help prepare them to face and withstand the temptations in the world today.
Just through the songs this year they have learned: 1. "The Family is of God" 2. We need to "Love One Another" 3. the "Holy Ghost" will testify and comfort them 4. If we "Follow the Prophet" we will guide us back to our Heavenly Father 5. that Heavenly Father " He Sent His Son" to help us.
What a gift the gospel is in our lives.I feel so blessed. I am thankful for Primaria and to be here to have these experiences.
