Ever since Sister YoungHee Yang was called as our Kuala Lumpur District Primary President, together with her, are her counsellors Sister Claire and Sister Cek Yin. Our District Primary Presidency really do a great job and organise great activities for the Primary children of the Church, and assist us the Primary workers in the District.
It is because I am currently serving as the Second Counsellor of Puchong Branch Primary, thus I have the opportunities to involve and get to know the District level of Primary activities and concern matters.
The District Primary Presidency focus this year would be encourage and ensure that boys and girls ages 8 through 11 live gospel principles, develop testimonies, and prepare to be righteous Aaronic Priesthood holders and righteous young women through The Faith in God program.
Thus the District Primary Activity Day was based around the Faith in God Program.
Our family woke up early and completed our household chores, and we remembered to bring along the kids’ props for the Talent Show for their individual performance and exhibition.
The event was organised at PJ Chapel Primary Room, from 10.00am to 1.00pm. We reached there earlier around 9.20am, we had our breakfast at the nearest coffee shop.
It's KL District Primary Activity Day!

Briefing Session.
There were 3 Stations for all the boys and girls to go, each with their own theme and activity. Each activity lasted for 30 minutes. All the boys and girls were split into 2 groups, so that they can exchange after each activity.
Let's split for our activities class.
Station 1 conducted by Sister Claire Lim.
'Learning and Living the Gospel' by Sister Claire Lim.
Let's pose!
Activity No. 1 : Learning and Living the Gospel #6 – Tell a story form the Book of Mormon that teaches about faith in Jesus Christ. Share your testimony of the Saviour.
At this activity, the children were able to learn about all the Prophets and Heroes stories in the Book of Mormon. They learn how they would be brave like the Prophets to share their testimonies about Jesus Christ.
Who are those on the wall? Look familiar to you? It's the Prophets and Heroes from the Book of Mormon!
Activity No. 2 : My Gospel Standards.
The kids learned about the Gospel Standards which was in a paper craft, and Sister Claire taught them to make it in a small handy booklet which can keep in the wallet or pocket.

'Serving Others' by Sister Chek Yin.
Activity No. 3 : Serving Others #1 – Read and discuss the parables of the good Samaritan (see Luke 10:30-37). Plan and complete a service project that helps a family member or neighbour. After completing the project, discuss how it helped your faith grow stronger.
