We had a great primary activity the end of June. We had the kids sitting at one of the stake pavillion tables and told them the story of Lehi's Dream. They sat so quietly, looking at the pictures and listened better then I have heard them in church. We then acted out the story from the Book of Mormon. The kids walked across a beam that was the straight and narrow path while holding on to their iron rod. My counselors and I had water guns and were spraying them while they crossed, just like the fiery darts of Satan trying to get us to fall off the path and let go of the iron rod. They made it to the tree of life, Heavenly Father's love, where they could pick off a fruit (in our case a heart shaped cookie). We also had a slip and slide to show how easily it is to get off of the path, but that was at the end and they just had fun getting wet. I love being in Primary. I had an amazing experience as I watched the children listening to the story. I really gained an insight to how much they are loved by our Heavenly Father and Savior. Each one of them has divine worth and is individually cared about. It was such a humbling experience to feel that love. Writing about it does not do it justice to the strong Spirit that we felt that morning. I am so thankful to have a Heavenly Father who loves me and wants me to hold to the iron rod and endure to the end and return to Him.
