Sunday, October 20th, the Tortola Branch primary
children presented the sacrament meeting presentation entitled “I am a Child of
God”. It was a delightful program and we believe that these children are the
most darling ever! Sister Costley has been assisting by teaching them the songs
for the program over the past few months and they have done a great job
learning them. One hurdle to overcome is that their attendance at church is
kind of sketchy, here one week and not the next (not their fault but their
parents). On the day of the program four “new” children came for the first time
but they just joined in and seemed to enjoy being in the program! One of their
favorite songs and the one they sang the best was “If the Savior Stood Beside
Me” which they sang with gusto. It brought tears to our eyes as we thought –
here is the future of this sweet Branch – a second generation of strong and
beautiful sons and daughters of our Heavenly Father. The future will be in good
hands.
The church picture we use that shows the Savior and his love
and care for children is perfect for the Caribbean because the children in the
picture are all different races. It has been so fun and a special privilege to
teach the little children here and to tell them how much their Heavenly Father
loves them and wants each of them to return to him some day.
