Liken Unto the Little Children


Yesterday I was watching the Saturday afternoon session of General Conference. This particular session featured a children's choir made from the Kaysville and Fruit Heights primary children. I was surprised to see my beautiful niece sitting right in front of the chorister. I had no idea she was singing in conference.
Now, I can only imagine the coaching these children received by their coordinators. It probably sounded like this: Stand straight up, keep your hands down, keep your eyes on the chorister, sing loud, and never look into the camera, no matter what!
During the song "I Love to See the Temple" the camera panned around to feature different children bearing their testimonies through song. All of these children did a great job, but one in particular was the best. As the camera stopped on my niece, she sang beautifully, she knew the words, and she looked right into the camera and smiled, and that is when my heart melted. I love her for that.
