Primary Program and Bishopric Photo

Last week was the Annual Primary Program. It was Chloe's last time participating-since next year at this time she will be in Young Women's-that is crazy to even think about! Here is the program.

Chloe gave a talk and also sang a song with a small group of kids-she was supposed to sing a solo in the song, but her and a couple other girls were too nervous so they ended up doing a trio.

Here is her talk. She wrote most of it herself with just a little bit of guidance. Her topic was the importance of family home evening.

In a conference talk Linda S. Reeves second counselor in the Relief Society general presidency said "it is okay if the house is a mess and the children are still in their pajamas and some responsibilities left undone. The only things that really need to be accomplished in the home are daily scripture study and prayer weekly family home evening."

Family home evening is a time for us to grow closer together as a family. It is a time to learn and have fun together. During this time our testimonies can be strengthened. Prophets have promised blessings to those who have family home evening.

President Thomas S. Monson said "we can not afford to neglect this heaven-inspired program. It can bring spiritual growth to each member of the family, helping him or her to withstand the temptations which are everywhere. The lessons learned in the home are those that last the longest."

I have always enjoyed family night, some of my favorites were my dad's scripture Olympics, my mom's object lesson on using kind words which involved shaving cream, and my dad's family feud game on the ten commandments. I enjoy the yummy treats we get every time, but most importantly being with my family and learning new things.

I know that family home evening is important and it you have it you will be blessed.

I say these things in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen!

The Primary Program turned out great-Chloe did awesome with both her talk and her song. It was nice to be able to have Landon get to come down off the stand and sit with the rest of the family during the program.
