Amberlyn's Primary Talk

Amberlyn got to give a talk in primary today! She did a very good job! It was about obeying her mom & dad:

"I can obey my parents.

To obey means to listen to another person in charge, and being willing to follow their instruction.

In Colossians chapter 3 verse 20, it says “ ^aChildren, ^bobey your parents in all things: for this is well pleasing unto the Lord.”

The Prophet Joseph Smith taught that obeying the commandments leads to blessings from God. Obeying the commandments shows our Heavenly Father that we love him. Obeying our parents shows them we love them, too.

This is my family. I can show my mom & dad that I love them by obeying. Like when my mom asks me to turn off the tv and go get ready for school, I can obey, by doing it right away. Or when my dad asks me to pick up my toys, I can obey. This shows my mom and dad that I love them, and am willing to listen. When we don’t listen, and do what we’re asked to do, it makes our parents and our Heavenly Father sad.

I hope we can all listen to our parents and obey, just like the scriptures and the prophets tell us to.

I say these things in the name of Jesus Christ, amen."
