Living the gospel helps me to be a missionary now.

Primary Talks

For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth (Rom. 1:16). Do you know any missionaries?

When we love others, we want to…

Do my efforts really matter?

Object Lesson

Before recounting this story, hold up a marble and tell the group that it represents Abinadi. Ask the group how many people they think were converted through Abinadi’s efforts. Write their guesses on the blackboard. Then recount for them Abinadi’s short history as recorded in Mosiah 11-17.

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…
