Samantha and her friend took all of her rainbow loom bands and connected them together to form one long rope. It was so long that they took it outside and had the boys jump over it.It was fun to see them all playing together. We have great neighbors and friends. The neighbor kids usually come over to our house after school. They play outside most of the afternoon and then sometimes end up inside on a rainy day. We enjoy it.
Celebrating Covenants, Bonnie D. Parkin, "Celebrating Covenants", Ensign, May 1995, 78
"Father in Heaven knows us as individuals. The covenants we make with Him are performed one on one. President Howard W. Hunter noted: “I have always been impressed that the Lord deals with us personally, individually. We do many things in groups in the Church, … but … the most important things are done individually. We bless babies one at a time, even if they are twins or triplets. We baptize and confirm children one at a time. We take the sacrament, are ordained to the priesthood, or move through the ordinances of the temple as individuals—as one person developing a [personal] relationship with our Father in Heaven. … Heaven’s emphasis is on each individual, on every single person ” (“Eternal Investments,” address to CES religious educators, 10 Feb. 1989, p. 4; emphasis added)."

like this idea of individuals. It explains why we have to perform
these ordinances for our ancestors one by one. It makes the personal
relationship with our Heavenly Father so important.
