Saturday June 5

Oh man was it a grumpy day for everyone!!!!!

I think our lack of sleep is really catching up!

They all got to bed early tonight....so I am hoping for a better day tomorrow.

We went to church today.

We go to the stake center now, and Port was so worried about not knowing where to go.

I promised him we would find it just fine :)

And we did.

I went to class with Elsie.

But Port was giving the scripture, so she let me leave for that.

But the opening exercises for primary was taking a long time, and so I was still waiting for Port to go, when Elsie's teacher brought her out crying :(

Little stinker!

So she stayed with me while we watched Port, then I went to the rest of her class with her.

And or course, she went with me to YW, where she was a lot of trouble, whimpering and crying.....

But Sister Peterson gave a great lesson on not judging others because you don't know what they are going through.

I feel like I tend to judge others, so that will for sure be something I will work on this week....and even after that :)

After church, we had melt downs and fights all over the place.

I sent every single kid to their rooms, numerous times!

Oh man........

Eventually we had dinner and we watched our General Conference talk.

Today's talk was by Elder Ronald A. Rasband with the talk titled 'Standing with the leaders of the church'.

We are so blessed to have the leaders that we do in this church.

From the Prophet all the way to the nursery leaders.

They can all make such an impact in our lives.......and we ourselves can make an impact as well as we fulfill those callings.

He quoted from the song, I am a Child of God.

Lead me, guide me, walk beside me....then he asks the question, who comes to mind when you sing those words?

When we are choosing to follow the counsel and warnings of our leaders, we are choosing to follow the Lord.

And are we choosing to stand in/with the light of our leaders in a darkening world?

Another quote he used was from Edwin Marham.

He said: There is a destiny that makes us brothers:

[No one] goes his way alone:

All that we send into the lives of others

Comes back into our own.

No one goes his way alone!

I just love that.

He told the story of when Jesus walked on the water and told Peter to come to him.....Peter did.

Peter walked on water towards Christ.

But then the winds got stronger and the water more rough.....and he lost sight of his focus and began to sink.

When he called out ' Lord, save me', in an instant the Lord was there to pull him up.

That is all we need to do.

We will all lose our way, lose our focus, and become discouraged at some point.

All we need to do it call upon Christ and he will pull us out of the water.

We NEED our Savior!

He loves us so very much.

I really enjoyed this talk :)
