End of Term Awards

Image
Ryan earned 2 awards at the end of the first term of sixth grade.  His first award was for no missing assignments- he earned a popsicle at lunch-time and I volunteered to hand them out.  He also earned the Honor Roll certificate with a 4.0 GPA.  I'm SO proud of this kid and all of his hard work this semester.  Evan earned the Citizenship award at his school.   It was really neat to go see him receive his award.  A few of his friends earned the same award!  

Primary Program and Priesthood Preview

The boys had their primary program this Sunday.  They both did a fantastic job on their parts.  This year's theme was "I love to read the Scriptures".  As a family this is something we're getting a little bit better at.  It is fun to see the boys' testimonies grow as they do.  Thank you to my parents for coming to see the boys! Evan gave a part about Nephi.  He said, "My favorite scripture story is about Nephi.  He was brave and went to get the plates when his brothers were afraid". Ryan gave a short talk about Joseph Smith. Imagine a glass full of clear, pure water. If we bump the glass, some water might spill out and the glass wouldn’t be full anymore. When Jesus Christ was on the earth, He established His Church. He taught the fulness of the gospel: faith in Jesus Christ, repentance, baptism by immersion, the gift of the Holy Ghost, and obedience to the commandments. Jesus showed all people how we should live. He became the Savior of us all.
