CTR

 The theme for primary this year was Choose The Right (CTR) and all year we have been talking about making good choices and doing what is right. The primary kids have such sweet spirits and strong testimonies of the gospel. This is my first time being the primary chorister and I have learned so much. I love being in primary!

Austin gave his first primary talk in July. With the help of his dad he did a great job:

I can CTR by living gospel principles.

I can CTR by remembering to say my prayers before I go to bed.

I can CTR by asking my mom or dad to read scripture stories to me.

I can CTR by being nice to others. I can speak kindly to my family and friends.

I can CTR by being reverent during church and thinking about Jesus.

I can CTR by being honest and telling the truth.

When I CTR I make Heavenly Father and Jesus happy and I am happy too.

For the Primary Program I made CTR sugar cookies for the primary kids...all 60 of them!

 The program went perfect and I was so proud of those primary kids who sang their hearts out and did such a great job!!

And my cute kids did awesome also....they both knew all the songs so well.

Austin's part in the program was "Heavenly Father created the earth as a place where I can learn to choose the right." He knew it by memory but gets shy in public. He let the teacher tell him his line and then he said it into the microphone. Mikayla however walked right up to the microphone and boldly said "Prayer makes my family stronger!!" with no help or cue from the teacher.

I love these kids of mine!!
