3 lessons one young mother was reminded of while watching the Friend to Friend event
Jannalee Sandau
- As I pulled out the kid-sized table and chair and tried to convince my almost-2-year-old to sit down before the Friend to Friend event, I wasn’t sure how things were going to go. As Primary teachers, my husband and I had been looking forward to participating in the event, but our son was a little younger than the target age for the broadcast and I wasn’t sure if it would hold his attention long enough for us to actually watch it. Boy, was I in for a surprise! He not only sat and watched, he participated—in his own little toddler way....

Tom Christofferson, adapted from “A Better Heart: The Impact of Christ's Pure Love”
- I was invited to lunch by a friend who wanted to introduce me to another friend, a man who had previously served as a mission president.
