"Because I Know We Are All Children of God, I Will Share the Gospel With Others"
by Erin Taylor
Harbor Hills Ward Primary
27 July 2008
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.
