Prayers and Puppets

Our theme this month is, "Prayer is Reverent Communication between God and Me."

This past Sunday, we heard a wonderful talk from Sam Schaaf, who recounted the story of the First Vision.  He read to us from Joseph Smith History and reminded us of the importance of praying in faith.  Thank you, Sam, for the great reminder!

Sharing time was the perfect blend of fun and reverence, thanks to some inspiration from our neighbor friend, Tracey Critchley, who graciously loaned her collection of puppets and puppet theater to the primary children.  The kids were divided into four groups, and each group received a topic from which they prepared a short play to present to the rest of the primary.  The amount of effort that the children and their teachers put into their presentations was incredible!  They varied from a story taken from The Friend magazine to a modern-day rendition of Little Red Riding Hood praying for protection as she ventured through the woods.  As a presidency, we were very pleased with the spirit that these short presentations brought to sharing time.  We will always be grateful to Tracey for listening to the promptings that she felt and lending the Primary her beloved collection.  Thanks, Tracey!
