Jesus Wants Me For A Sunbeam

No, I don't mean a literal sunbeam!

When children are 3, they enter the children's Sunday School program, which we call Primary. The first year of the program their class is called "Sunbeams." One of the songs they sing is "Jesus Wants Me For a Sunbeam"- which is one of Audra's favorite songs. (Her all-time favorite is "I Am A Child of God"- that one has always been her favorite.)

Anyway, it is a pretty exciting time for kids to enter primary. Audra's teacher came over yesterday and brought Audra a present (a Sunbeam t-shirt that she made). We have been talking up primary all week in the hopes she would be excited instead of scared. I've been praying that she would be excited for it- and she was. And, apparently she did great! Her teacher said she was the star student! Not that that means anything, because it doesn't, but I am really glad that she enjoyed her new primary class! No more nursery for her!

Some pictures of our star:
 All dressed up and ready for her first day:
In class (her teacher took this picture):
 She refused to smile for the camera- but you can see her crown, and her teacher even made her a puppet- both the crown and the puppet say, "I am a child of God."

  1. Christina, you are so lucky. Tabatha and Alicia each had a great Sunbeam teacher who gave crowns and made it exciting. As for Olivia, she doesn't have a regular teacher yet. Luckily, in Matt's ward the teacher gave her a cute necklace that says "I am a Sunbeam." Love the pictures.
