One Saturday my family went to our friends’ house to go on a hike and go boating. We had a great time.

When you lose something, how do you feel? Frustrated? Angry? That’s the way I used to feel. Especially if it was someone in my family who had lost something.

One Sunday morning I had a very bad toothache. My mom had taught me to pray to God when I have a problem.

Last summer, I made my yearly trip to a camp for Christian Scientists. I was excited to see my friends and to have fun, but during the first week, my right ankle began hurting.

On Christmas morning when I was nine, I thought I’d been given the best present ever. It came in a very big box.

I have been attending the Christian Science Sunday School in Chandigarh, India, since I was little. There I have learned about God and God’s goodness, and also about how to pray.

Our church, First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Beverly, Massachusetts, gave a Christian Science lecture at our town library. People come together to listen to a Christian Science lecture so they can understand more about Christian Science and its Founder, Mary Baker Eddy.

One night I had an uncomfortable feeling inside me. It did not feel good, and I couldn’t get to sleep.

We are two sisters and a brother, and we go to the Christian Science Sunday School. Every week, we read the Bible and learn about different stories and characters.

I used to be scared of a lot of things. I was scared of going up the stairs at my school if no one was with me, and of going into the girls’ bathroom alone.
