This is Alyssa! I taught her in Primary last year. She was eating a blue sucker. I love it! So here’s a funny story about Alyssa…

I absolutely love serving in the Primary. The children are so much fun and entertaining. Last Sunday the funniest thing happened. The sister who did Sharing Time talked to the kids about prayer and near the end of her lesson, she told the story about the monk who invented the pretzel. He made it look like arms folded in prayer. She gave each of the kids a handful of pretzels. Next, it was time for singing. In preparation for our Primary program, this little group of six years olds, who were going to sing a song for the program, were called up to practice in front of everyone. Alyssa wasn’t finished with her pretzels, so she set them on her chair, and said to the little girl sitting next to her, “Don’t touch those.” Then she went up to the front, which was only about 5 feet away, and turned to face the audience. (This is the best part) She took her first two fingers and pointed at her own eyes, and then pointed them toward the little girl who was sitting there next to her pretzels, like “I’m watching you!” I laughed so hard. What a funny thing!!
