| Us: | Echo, where’s Jesus? |
| Echo: | (points to a picture on the wall) Jesus! |
| Us: | And Echo; We have a Prophet, do you know what a Prophet is? |
| Echo: | Uh-huh; You follow! |
| Us: | Right, Follow the Prophet! Echo, do you know the name of the Prophet? |
| Echo: | Uh-huh; (slaps her chest proudly) Echo is a Prophet! |
| Us: | Wow, um… wow… well… Echo, his name is Monson. The Prophet’s name is Monson; can you say ‘Monson’? |
| Echo: | Echo is a Prophet! |

Ehud is a hero
For those who are left-hand(ed)! (more…)
I teach the 10-11-year-olds in my ward primary. This year’s course of study is the D&C and Church History.

In teaching I’ve never really had much problem with the lessons. Until now. (more…)
