Our first Sunday here happened to be the primary program. It was fun to here the kids sing...and I'm sorry to say I did compare the program to the one we had in Waco and it didn't even compare to how wonderful Waco's kids sang, and how well the program was put together. It made me miss my children, and got me to thinking about some of the kids who expressed sadness at my leaving.
I even got teary eyed thinking about my last sunday in our old ward. The primary spotlighted me and I had the kids sing Child's Prayer...a song that is near and dear to my heart since my family used to practice singing it in parts during family night. I hope the kids know that I was bearing my testimony to them in the song. I couldn't tell them that directly though because I was so choked up by the end I couldn't even sing.
To top it off the Rachel White presented me with a card that was signed by all the primary kids and teachers, the nursury leaders, and even the former primary kids that graduated while I was the singing time Choristor. I just went to my seat bawling, there was no way I was going to be able to say anything at the time...but if any of the parents are reading this, please let your children know how much I love them, that I know God loves them and they are choice spirits, I know Heavenly Father hears their prayers and will answer them. They are children of God.

The power that children have over our hearts is amazing! It's always nice to read of sweet experiences like this and I know that you have touched the lives of those little ones as they have touched yours!
Hallie has cried for Teancum. She is sad that another friend has moved away. Audrey asks to go play with Teancum and see baby Jacob every time we pass your house and more. We miss you and hope you are having a great time.
