Primary

These first two young girls are 15 years old, together they run the primary.  One the president, the other the activity leader.  Their names are Justina and Mazura.  They are amazing.  They are also two of my piano students.  They speak English well.  They have all the children (20-25) for 2 hours.  No teachers, no other adult to help.  The second hour becomes rather wild as you can imagine.  So we sang songs, everything I could think of.  They sing in English.  And do they SING!  I've never heard such enthusiastic singing.

We had a CD for some of the songs; but some thy did a cappella, and I was astonished at how close to the melody they were.

They are like children everywhere.  Mischievous, silly, adorable, and fun.  They can also be a trial when you are trying to engage them for 2 hours straight!!!

  1. Get out the crayons, finger puppets, flannel boards, and vcr! We had one of those days in primary yesterday too. But at least we are there. Those children are beautiful, and I'm so impressed with the young women-- they will be well-prepared leaders of the church there someday.

    Love Steph
