Today Melissa’s translator for primary couldn’t come to church so I got to spend all three hours of church with her. There are eight or so kids in primary ranging from age four to age 10 and they come from three different families. Melissa taught a lesson about following the counsel of the prophets and she passed out little slips of paper with either good things (i.e. be honest, read your scriptures, be kind) or bad things (steal, fight, be lazy) written on them. She then asked each of the students which things were likely prophetic counsel and which were not. When ever a ‘bad thing’ was read Melissa instructed the students to tear up the pieces of paper (which they enjoyed thoroughly and which I thought was rather effective).
After Class, there was a fifteen minute lull before sharing time started and the kids got a little wild. Someone had taped a sign on the nursery door that read ‘This is the place to play.’ Apparently one of Melissa’s students didn’t like that sign because I saw him put up a sign on the door that read ‘Entrance to Hell.’ I couldn’t help but laugh pretty hard before I kindly suggested that we take it down. Church is great.
