Following Jesus in Australia

Lirael follows Jesus Christ by reading the Book of Mormon and going to church. She also chose to be baptized recently. After her baptism, Lirael wanted to always think of Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ like she promised. So when she had a hard time in her math class at school, she said a prayer. When she asked for help from her parents, teacher, and Heavenly Father, it got much easier.

Lirael loves to serve like Jesus did. She says, “When I follow Jesus, I feel happy, and when I help others, I feel really nice.”
