Sunday Scriptures: Primary 2016

This year the Primary Theme is "I Know the Scriptures are True". We have been trying as a family to have scripture study every day this year. It's sometimes hard with all small children to feel like you are getting anything out of scripture study. But I know that it is much like going to church and having family home evening; we are building habits, and I know they are listening and learning even when it doesn't seem that way.

Last week we were all sick, so we didn't make it to church. This week we made it close to on time to our new 9:00 a.m. schedule. I think I'm going to enjoy this schedule better than 1:00 (if we can just make it through the crazy morning rush), because the time is better for the kids. They were so good today! In our rush, however, I didn't get a picture of the kids; maybe next week.

Sabrie has graduated from nursery to primary, and is officially a Sunbeam! After her difficulties adjusting to nursery, I wasn't sure how she would do moving up to primary. She did so awesome! Lexie took her to opening exercises where she went right to class and enjoyed every minute!

Hoyt is now in CTR 5. I didn't get much out of him about how it went, but he seemed happy after church so it must have been a good day.

Lexie has now graduated to Senior Primary, and is a CTR 7! AHHH! How did she grow up so fast?! She is preparing to get baptized later this year, so we are trying to get her all prepared with everything she needs to know before then. She has been really interested in reading her own scriptures, especially scriptures about baptism. She's had some of her friends get baptized recently, which has been making her even more excited for her own!

Finally, I just want to share a scripture I've been thinking about this past week.
We should constantly look to Christ in our lives. The Relief Society lesson this week went perfectly with this scripture. We need to recognize His hand in our lives. This past week, I have seen miracles happen for my family. The key is to have faith, and not let doubt and fear take over. I hope everyone's Sabbath has been a delight!
