Presidency Message

One little three-year old asked his mother if they could read the scriptures. When she went to get the scripture readers off of the shelf, he said, as he held up his missionary edition of the Book of Mormon, "No, not those scriptures. I want the real ones. I want the ones with the power."
Another child was reading her scriptures on an airplane trip. The lady sitting next to her was so impressed--first, that she could read that well, and second, with the content of what she was reading--that she asked her about it. The child told her about the scriptures and their message. She bore her testimony that they were true. The woman was so amazed that she determined to find the Book of Mormon she had once been given and read it. She said, "If this child can read it, so can I."
Children love the scriptures. Include scriptures in your sharing time and have the children look up scriptures and read them or if younger, act them out. I am a strong believer in likening the scriptures to ourselves. Tell the children how this scripture or scripture story applies to them today. Most importantly, bear your testimony of the scriptures that they are true and that the stories in the scriptures really did happen.
Thank you for teaching the children.
