"Because I Know We Are All Children of God, I Will Share the Gospel With Others"

I would like to share a story about my Uncle Seth.  When he was 19, he was a missionary in Mexico.  But even before then, when he was a little boy in Primary, he was already great missionary.

When Uncle Seth was a boy in Bakersfield, he belonged to an elite youth paramilitary group called the Cub Scouts.  He invited Neil, his friend from school, to go to Cub Scout meetings with him.  Neil was not a member of the Church.  Neil and Seth loved to go to Cub Scouts together. 

Later, Uncle Seth invited Neil to go to Primary with him.  Neil had never heard of Primary and didn't know what it was.  Uncle Seth told him that it was a fun place that he went with other kids on Sunday where they sang songs, played games, and learned about Jesus from very nice teachers.  Uncle Seth told Neil that he would like Primary, just like he liked Cub Scouts.  Neil's mom and dad said that it was OK.

Neil liked going to Primary with Seth.  Neil's parents liked the things that Neil was learning in Primary, so they began to go to Church too.  Soon, Neil's whole family was baptized into the Church.  They were later sealed in the temple.

When Seth went on a mission to Mexico, Neil went on a mission to Venezuela.  But even when he was just a little Cub Scout, Uncle Seth was already a great missionary.

I will try to be like my Uncle Seth and invite my friends to Primary.  I will do this because all kids are children of Heavenly Father and he wants us all to go to Primary.

In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

The talk is very eloquent and sweet, just like you are Erin!  Also you did a fine job covering the church’s paramilitary movement.
