We learned about a boy named Carlos who went fishing with his home teacher and had a lot of fun. Of course, that meant that we had to go fishing, too! Carlos was so grateful to Brother Taylor that he asked his mother to help him bake some cupcakes.
Katelynn: We had some cupcakes at our house that you baked!
Seph: I came to your house and you gave me a cupcake!
We also heard a story about a primary teacher who loved her class and spent a lot of time preparing lessons about Jesus and baking cookies for them (except on Fast Sunday). One Sunday evening, one of the students in this teacher's class brought came over to her house with a handwritten thank-you note. The teacher seemed to the children to resemble Sister Combs, and the student had the same first name as Sister Combs, so there was a certain amount of confusion and silliness, but we still managed to figure out the moral of the story: saying "thank you" is a good way to share our love.
We made a list on the chalkboard of people who help us, and then started writing thank-you notes, which involved paper, crayons, and lots of heart and happy-face stickers. Although the children could think of lots of people who help them, they all decided to address their notes to Mom and Dad. It's good to teach people who have their priorities straight.
