I have a testimony that Jesus Christ is my Savior

Primary Talks

Probably all of us have had experiences when we really needed someone to help us. I remember once as a small boy I surely did. While playing on a mountainside near our home, I fell into the middle of a huge, prickly cactus plant. Oh, did it hurt! The prickly spines of the cactus went through my sneakers, through my stockings, through my trousers, through my shirt—they went through everything!…

In the premortal life, I chose to follow Jesus Christ

Primary Talks

“Man was also in the beginning with God (D&C 93:29). Choices! Choices! Life is full of choices! Should you wear your blue shirt or your red one? Should you play a game or do your work? Should you watch TV or read a book? Making choices is a very important part of life on earth. Your right to choose was given to you when you lived in Heaven with Heavenly…

I will obey my parents

Primary Talks

Several years ago, I was invited to give an important lecture at a medical school in New York City. The night before the lecture, Sister Nelson and I were invited to dinner at the home of our host professor. There he proudly introduced us to an honor medical student—his beautiful daughter. Some weeks later, that professor telephoned me in an obvious state of grief. I asked, “What is the matter?”…

Mothers nurture the family

Primary Talks

Elder Rex D. Pinegar spent his “growing-up years in Spanish Fork, Utah, first on a fruit farm, then, later, in a home in the city.” Rex and his twin brother, Max, were the ninth and tenth children in their family. “We grew up respecting our parents.

Fathers preside over, provide for, and protect the family with love

Primary Talks

In a remote part of Ireland, Brid Harrington lived with her father and mother in a thatched cottage covered with ivy. A low stone wall surrounded the yard and yellow primroses, daffodils, and roses filled the summer air with perfume. One morning as the sun rose over Wicklow Mountain, Brid yawned and stretched and wiped her clenched fingers across her eyes. Getting out of bed, she swung her window open…

I have many family members who can help me

Primary Talks

A while ago, my parents went away for a few days and I stayed with my grandmother. When it was time for bed, she said: “Megan, come say your bedtime prayer.” “I don’t know how,” I said. “It’s easy,” she explained. “You start out by calling upon Heavenly Father. Then you thank Him for your blessings. After that you can ask Him for whatever you need. It’s also important to…

God’s creations bless us

Primary Talks

I live in Argentina, which is one of the greatest cattle-producing countries in the world. Driving across the famous Pampa to attend conferences, we pass miles of deep green pastures extending as far as the eye can see, filled with vast herds of peaceful, grazing cattle. I love cows. As a boy I used to milk them by hand, feed them, herd them, and ride them. They are one of…

The priesthood blesses my family

Primary Talks

Hung Hseng Chr (pronounced Hung Sheng Chur) sat on the grass by the edge of the river and watched the water lapping on the rocks. The sun felt hot against his skin, and the air was thick and humid. A tear ran down his cheek, and he brushed it quickly away with the back of his hand. Hseng Chr’s ancestors had lived in Taiwan long before the Chinese people had…

Heavenly Father blesses righteous families in the scriptures

Primary Talks

Many years after the Great Flood, the descendants of Noah had multiplied and prospered greatly. They built cities, tilled the land, and became very wealthy. Most of them became wicked and idolatrous and forgot that it was the Lord who had spared their fathers. Some of them decided to build a high tower, which they believed would reach the heavens. The Lord was angry with their behavior, and He confused…

Adam and Eve were the first family

Primary Talks

The heavens and the earth were created by Jesus Christ under the direction of Heavenly Father. Everywhere you look you can see all that They created for you. The sun, stars, seas, animals, trees, flowers, fruits, vegetables, and all else show that you have a Heavenly Father and a Savior who love you (see Moses 6:63). It pleased Them to create the earth and all the things upon it to…

The family is ordained of God and is central to His plan

Primary Talks

Father plopped a stack of books on the table and announced, “Tonight for family home evening we are going to write our testimonies in a Book of Mormon. Practice first on a piece of paper. Then, using your best penmanship, write your testimony on the inside cover, and sign your name. We’ll glue one of your school pictures underneath it, and tomorrow I’ll give the books to the bishop to…

I am created in the image of God. My body is a temple.

Primary Talks

The Lord gave me a temple to live within on earth. Once in Heaven I was spirit, but I left my home at birth. I’ll make my temple brighter; I’ll keep my spirit free. My body is the temple my Father gave to me. (Children’s Songbook, page 153.) This Primary song tells us that our bodies are temples that Heavenly Father has given us. The scriptures tell us this, too:…
