Ikeja Ward Primary Program


Today was our Ward Primary Program, and they all did such a good job. This guy isn't in Primary yet. This is Brother Martin's older son. I posted a picture of his baby brother, Praises about 6 months ago. Praises was born the same day as Haylee's baby, Miriam. His older brother, shown here, was born the same day as Alicia's little Emmett. You can see the stare that I get from little kids because I am so different looking. It makes me "scary".










The program here was much the same as what they are doing in the U.S. The children here had really prepared and most had their parts well memorized. They did some small solo parts during the singing time, but didn't use any type of microphone, so it was hard to hear them. They all came to the pulpit for their speaking parts, so that was better. All songs were acapella except the 1st one they did, which was "I am a Child of God". My piano student, Sandra Ekuma accompanied them on the organ and did a really good job. We were both quite proud! Sandra is the tall girl in the center on the back row.

A woman in our ward named Comfort has decorated the chapel and cultural hall for Christmas. It looks really nice with the red and green fabric swagged around the chapel. The swags go down the sides of the chapel also. She has also decorated a small tree that sits behind the sacrament table and another in the cultural hall.






This is Sandra Ekuma. She turned 12 last August and still attends Primary during Sunday School and Young Women during the third hour of church. I have gotten her started on her personal progress and she has 1 value statement completed. I think her she can use her piano for a value project later on. She has two brothers, Lincoln and Maxwell. They are all very cute kids, and well taught by their parents.
