Sunday Thoughts of an 8 Year Old

Sunday, Feb. 4, 1996                 Margret is 8 years old

Dear Margret,

You did a very good job saying a scripture on reverence today in Sunday School.

You and Lark wore matching dresses.   (Lark is 4 years old).                   Love, Mom

Margret prepared a short talk to give in church and made the following entry some time between February and April 1996 (still eight years old).  (Her spelling & punctuation)...

I like to be obeydent it's like being obeydent to heavenly father and Jeses  Jeses has commandments that we need to obey their are lots of things we should obey we need to obey these things but there is lots more to do to obey heavenly father and Jeses  I would like to read to you 1 Nephi chapter 3:7&8 read scripture  and I say these things in the name of Jeses Christ amen!!!

     "And it came to pass that I, Nephi, said unto my father: I will go and do the things which the Lord hath commanded, for I know that the Lord giveth no commandments unto the children of men, save he shall prepare a way for them that they may accomplish the thing which he commandeth them.
     And it came to pass that when my father had heard these words he was exceedingly glad, for he knew that I had been blessed of the Lord."
