Primary Presidency Keeps Things Interesting for Children During Pandemic

 Here are just a few of the things that the Primary has offered the children of Mokelumne River Ward to keep them thinking about the Gospel.

BINGO:  Primary President Sister Ginny Shull sent a note:  "Hi Primary Kids!  You should have received a BINGO card in the mail.  For the rest of the month, try to complete all of the prompts.  Have a parent text me  when you're finished for a special prize.  Hope you are all doing well.  Your primary presidency misses you."

Leanna Clegg shows off her prize for finishing her BINGO card!

SINGING:  Sister Allie Wren from the Thatcher 2nd Ward presented a virtual singing time for primary children and families. Viewers sang six different primary songs in  a game of "Name That Tune"!  Children were encouraged to sing other primary songs with family members throughout the week.

Book of Mormon Story:  Elizabeth Carlston read a story about the 2000 Stripling Warriors from the Book of Mormon.  She sent this note:  "Hi Primary Kids!  Enjoy learning a little more about one of my favorite scripture stories from this week's Come Follow Me lesson.  Happy Sabbath!"

Mission President D.W. Zimmerman gives R.S. Fireside

   

 California Sacramento mission president began his fireside by saying his loves his missionaries.  He loves the scriptures and the gospel of Jesus Christ.  Because of this, it is easy to be a mission president.

    He presented some "simple gospel principles that God wants to share with us." He emphasized that the gathering of Israel is the greatest and most important thing taking place on earth today.  He encouraged us to follow the counsel Elder Ballard gave in a 1984 talk:  Set a date!  This means to set a date when we will have someone ready to accept the Gospel.  We don't need to know who that person is, but promised blessings will flow into our lives if we do this. 

   After his presentation, Relief Society PresidentLisa Clegg encouraged all of us to set a date.

Some of those present on the Zoom Fireside were President Lisa Clegg, upper left; Judy Wilcox, upper right; Ward missionaries Sister Brandley and Sister Peapealalo, lower left; and Bishop Eric Holden.
