Perfecting the Saints — One Lesson at a Time

One of the best activities we did this past year was Secret Sisters. We asked our Relief Society President for the names of some sisters who could use an adopted granddaughter, and each girl was assigned one as her older “sister”. We starte…

I chose the lesson, “How My Words Affect Me & Those Around Me”, from the ‘Come Follow Me’ curriculum. As I was preparing my lesson I remembered THIS great handout that I saw on Marci Coombs‘ blog.I decided to change the last line of the poem so that it fit the topic a little better. The…

Downloaded from: http://ocdprimarychorister.blogspot.com/2013/09/review-things-i-do.html To review the song “The Things I Do,” I want to make sure that the children understand the message that they can be missionaries just by choosing the right. To accomplish this, I’ve put the song into my own words. Begin by reading this (or your own version) to the children. “I’m not old enough yet to go to another country and serve a full-time mission…

Downloaded from: http://ocdprimarychorister.blogspot.com/2013/09/song-things-i-do.html I plan to teach this song to my primary in October 2013 to complement the theme of Missionary Work. As it is written, the melody from the first verse is repeated for the second verse and then there is a change for the third and fourth verses. Unless you plan to sing this song for the program, consider using the repeated section for all four verses. This…

It’s raining outside. Over the years, I have learned to love the rain. I enjoy the moisture that it brings to the earth, the pitter-patter sound as the raindrops fall on my roof, and the lightning and thunder that often accompany the rain. (Cue the thunder…perfect…) I love running through it and feeling the water cleanse my body and send chills down my back.
One of the best parts about the rain is the rainbow that comes afterward. I love to look for the rainbows and remember the promise that God made to Noah that He would no longer flood the earth. The symbolism behind the rainbow and the flood is so beautiful, and I especially love that it represents baptism.
As a missionary in Iowa, I taught people all day every day about the importance and necessity of baptism by immersion. I shared with them the truth that the priesthood of God is on the earth again, and that each person can be cleansed from their sins by the power of the priesthood ordinance of baptism. We loved to sing the song “When I Am Baptized” from the Children’s Songbook at the baptisms of our converts. My heart rejoiced each time I saw one of God’s children accept the essential, saving, cleansing covenants through their baptism.
I am teaching my daughter about baptism already. She recognizes photos of people being baptized, and loves to sing the Primary songs about baptism. I hope she chooses to follow God’s path and be baptized when she turns 8.
How have your baptismal covenants blessed your life?
Enjoy the rain. :)

Ask a child to erase one or two words, and have the children repeat the phrase again. Repeat…

For our Personal Progress activity we had a fun ‘choices’ activity.The Sunday before the activity I handed out invitations. Here is what the invitations looked like. At the top of the invite I had the question: ‘When faced with significant choices how do you decide?’On each invitation was a coin & around the coin I had the phrase ‘Heads or…
