How I live my faith

I currently teach a Primary class at church. Primary is for children ages 3-11. It is where they can learn church teachings and gospel truths at an age appropriate level. I have no formal training as a teacher. I try my best to teach what I know to be true. Thankfully there is a manual to guide me and leaders to support and instruct me should I need help.

The children I teach come into my class at 7 years old and turn 8 during the course of the year. Beginning at age 8 a child can make the choice to be baptized. Teaching this age bracket is a solemn duty. It is my responsibility to teach them about Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ. To help them understand baptism and the Holy Ghost. To instill in them a love for the scriptures. To share with them the importance of prayer. To encourage them to make right choices. To assist them in understanding who they are and their purpose on this earth. To help them prepare for their own baptism should they make that choice. I teach them what I know. I try daily to pattern my life, my choices, in accordance with these teachings.
