Lauren's primary program talk she wrote...

When you choose the right many blessings can come from it.  A perfect example of that in my life is an award I received last year.  In 5th grade, I tried to make everyone around me feel involved and welcome.  One day in the middle of the year a new girl named Stephanie joined our class.  When our teacher asked if anyone would like to show her around my hand shot up right away.  I tried to make her feel welcome and I even introduced her to some people and she started making friends and even became really good friends with Katie Brooks.  I felt good that she was happy.  At the end of the year, I even was lucky enough to receive a citizenship award from my teacher.   We may not always get an actual physical reward but the spiritual reward of feeling good when you’ve made the right choice is something we can all get.   In the name of Jesus Christ amen.
