Sunbeam

In our church, the January after a child turns three, they get to go to a new program called primary. Primary last until age 12. In Primary the kids spend an hour with kids their own age in individual classrooms learning lessons. After that, all the kids in primary get together in a big room and sing songs and learn scriptures. There are also three kids asked to say the prayer, give a short talk, and give a scripture. This is a neat program because it teaches kids responsibility in small steps. It also helps kids learn how to sit and be reverent by the example of other kids. Today was McKayla's first day of primary. She is a sunbeam. She was very excited. It was a challenge for her to try and sit for that long, but she did okay. We are so proud of our little girl. Yea McKayla!
