We've had such a wonderful week! We spent our devotional time discussing the virtue of Compassion. The children were taught of the Savior's compassion and of the many healings performed because he had/has compassion on everyone!

We reminded the children of the Golden Rule, and discussed the scripture where the Savior said, "If ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me". We also showed a video of theGood Samaritan and read stories about Compassion.

Sister Dale's class especially enjoyed the short story, "Where Love Is, God Is", by Leo Tolstoy, and are almost finished with the book Pollyanna- a heart warming story about a little girl who's compassion, positive attitude and friendliness changes an entire town.

Sister Rosa's class finished Charlotte's Web, a wonderful story of true friendship, loyalty and compassion! We've been able to bring your children face to face with excellent examples of people with compassionate hearts and have challenged them to each find ways to help and serve others during this Christmas season and always!

The children also started a poem that they will perform in the Christmas program. We began teaching it on Monday, and they already have it memorized! Yep, they are brilliant! We also had almost everyone memorize all of the quotes, and scriptures this week!

We also started working on our Christmas program! It's going to be amazing! Please mark your calendars for THURSDAY, DECEMBER 16TH!
