PST 38 Baptism and the Aaronic Priesthood

 Hello, friends! We have a lots of guests and helpers today. First, I touch on the Come Follow Me lesson about John the Baptist giving Joseph Smith, Jr. and Oliver Cowdery the Aaronic Priesthood. Then I teach The Priesthood is Restored (you'll need a sock today if you want to conduct with an elephant trunk). Then Skinny and Tesler help us sing The First Article of Faith again. I talk about the second paragraph of The Living Christ and show the accompanying banjo song. And finally, Br. Keaton is our teacher spotlight this week.

 Hello, friends! Today we review When He Comes Again and sing a whole bunch of songs that have to do with Jesus. In the More Fun video we use one more scrap piece of paper to make a manger (origami or paper folding). I also teach two more verses of The Nativity Song.

Thankful

 Today I try to sing about things I'm thankful for. I invited Skinny and Tesler to sing with me. We also try to sing two part songs, harmony and a round.

 I'm thankful for nature (the little stream and the green field), for sunshine and snow, for a Heavenly Father who hears my prayers, for the priesthood in my home, and food on the table.
