I will walk with Jesus 2nd verse and chorus

 Hello, friends. There were so many songs we could have sung for the Come Follow Me lesson today, but I forced myself just to pick a few. Feel free to sing other songs on your own as you think of them. Today I am teaching the second verse of I will walk with Jesus, the new primary song that was featured on a Face to Face with Elder Gong last year. I taught it last year, but then I forgot to practice it with you, so I will quickly reteach it this week and next week. I hope you like it and learn it (Sister Ence really likes it). At the end of this blog are some printable booklets to help you practice the song. I also quickly go over another paragraph of The Living Christ and play the banjo song arranged by Sister Gadd from our stake (I'm not really teaching that, just exposing the kids to it). Lastly, Tesler and Skinny help us practice The 10th Article of Faith song.

The Armor of God

 Hello, friends! Today, Skinny helps me teach you about putting on the armor of God and the second verse of Scripture Power. We sing lots of songs that can help us learn about the different parts of the armor. Warning - I do apply my own theory about the armor and what it symbolizes. Please share with your children what you think the armor means to you. 

  I included a coloring/cutting activity. I wanted Skinny to help me with pictures for Scripture Power and it took on a life of it's own. I really think I had help from above to create this Paper Warrior (Paper Doll). She comes in color or as a coloring page. I hope the kids have a fun time with this. Just a few tips- you may need to tape the stand to the back of the warrior, I used tape to attach the sword and shield, and keep the shoes together joined at the ankle. Tape fixes every mistake.
