Primary Presentation 2014

We participated in our first Primary Presentation in Spain last Sunday.  This is a presentation that happens once a year in our church, when the primary children (ages 3 to 11) give talks and sing songs during the regular congregational meeting.  I am the first counsellor in the primary presidency and we recently got a new primary president and second counsellor.  Our new president is wonderful.  She is a relatively new member of the church, less than 2 years, and she had only been in primary for a few months before she was called as the new president.  The best part is that she really enjoys working with the primary children and I really enjoy working with her.

I think that past presentations have always been a pretty big deal, but this year as we are a new presidency, we wanted to keep it simple.  I was responsible for teaching the songs and we gave each child a small speaking assignment.  It was probably the shortest presentation this ward has ever seen, but I tend to think that a shorter presentation is usually better than a longer one.  Cole, Rylan and Ciara participated and all of them did a great job.  Somehow Rylan was assigned the longest part in the presentation, but he read his part really well.  Everyone was impressed with his Spanish pronunciation.  The singing was pretty bad, but we tried our best.  At least we will know how to better prepare for next year.
