Ellie's Primary Talk, 8/28/11

Reading, watching, and listening to wholesome things keeps my mind clean

Heavenly Father wants me to have a clean body and mind. To keep my body clean, healthy and strong, I need to eat healthy food like apples and bananas. I also need to keep my mind clean, happy, and strong.

I want to be like Jesus. To be like Jesus I need to watch movies that aren't scary. I need to read books that helps me choose the right. I need to listen to music that makes me happy. Doctrine and Covenants 25:12 says, “My soul delighteth in the song of the heart; yea, the song of the righteous is a prayer unto me.” When we sing good songs it's like praying to Heavenly Father.

One of my favorite things to do is sing Primary songs all day long with my mom. My favorite Primary song is “I Love to See the Temple.” I like this song because it has the temple in it. It reminds me that I am going to go to the temple someday. I think singing Primary songs all day long is a good way to keep my mind clean.

To go to temple, we need to have a clean mind. A clean mind helps us to have the Holy Ghost. And the Holy Ghost helps me to be like Jesus. I know that if we do these things then we can return to live with Heavenly Father again. In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
