The first Sunday in April, is General Conference for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints. It is a weekend full of faith promoting messages, gospel teachings, and love from our Heavenly Father. I hope you take time to participate with your families! This year, conference falls on Easter Sunday! What a neat gift.
The Primary talks for the month of April are based on the Come Follow Me lessons for children. Each talk is simple to read and understand. I hope they help make speaking in church easy for your family. Sunday mornings with kids can be a bit hectic!
Primary Leaders are welcome to download and print all of the April Primary Talks here.
April 12 Primary Talk: I Can Have A Soft Heart
In the scriptures we learn that Jesus wants us to have a soft heart. What does that mean?
A soft heart means we are willing to listen, to learn, and to feel the Holy Ghost. When our hearts are soft, the Lord can teach us important things.
There are examples of people in the scriptures who have hard hearts. They do not want to do what the Lord asks them to do and they refuse to see the miracles that happen around them. It is sad to see how much they miss out on because they choose to turn away.
The Lord says, “I will soften their hearts.” When our hearts are soft, we are kinder, we forgive faster, and we want to follow Jesus. I hope we can have soft hearts.

April 19 Primary Talk: Jesus Is My Rock
A rock is strong and steady. It doesn’t move when the wind blows or when storms come. When we say Jesus is our Rock, it means He is someone we can always count on. He never changes! He will always help us.
When life feels hard, or when we feel scared or unsure, Jesus can give us strength. When we pray, read the scriptures, or try to follow Him, it’s like standing on a strong rock that keeps us safe.
Jesus loves us so much. He wants us to come to Him. He promises to support us just like a strong rock supports everything that stands on it.
I know that Jesus is our Rock. He is always there for us, and He will never let us fall.

April 26 Primary Talk: Commandments Help Us To Be Happy
Jesus gives us commandments because He wants us to be happy.
Jesus loves us so much! That’s why He gives us commandments. They aren’t to make life harder—they’re to help us make good choices and return to Him.
It’s kind of like flying a kite. A kite needs a string to fly. If you cut the string, the kite doesn’t fly higher—it actually falls. The string gives the kite the support it needs to soar. Commandments are like that string. They guide us and help us stay close to Jesus so we can be truly happy.
When we keep the commandments we feel the Holy Ghost. That feeling brings real happiness.
Holding on to the commandments makes it possible for us to soar.
