Choosing Good Friends

Last sunday the lesson was taught by Sister. Nau.  The Lesson was on: Having good friends will help me choose the right.  Sister. Nau shared with the children a chart that can be a guide to them on how to choose good friends and also how to be a good friend.  Each child participated and shared what they wanted in a good friend.  Jr. primary knew exactly what they wanted in a good friend.  Someone who is nice, doesn't kick them or hurt them, someone who shares and loves their mom.  Senior primary wanted someone who would not talk bad about them or make fun of them.  They wanted someone who  would love them and their family.

Every answer giving was sincere and meaningful.  Sister. Nau then went through the chart to share with them what they should be looking for in a good friend and how they should be a good friend.

The  diagram should explain what traits they are looking for in a friend.

 The children were able to memorize all of the traits and do it without looking at the chart.  Each child had the oppurtunity name the traits.  Following the lesson they were able to watch a short film of a story President Gordon. B Hinckley recalls about two young boys and the example of being a good freind.  The spirit was very strong with the children.  And you could tell they knew exactly what they should look for in a friend.

Please follow up with your child regarding this lesson.  They enjoyed memorizing the parts and being able to share it.  This will also help them look for good friends and become a good friend.  By doing this we become closer to our Savior Jesus Christ and begin to learn his ways.
