My Testimony Today...

At church today I needed to find a picture or a story and find out what it means by myself with no help. That really showed me what potential I had and how wonderful my testimony is.  Without scriptures or the back of the picture, I knew what the story was. I knew that story like the back of my hand.   I knew everything that happened there.   

I know Heavenly Father loves me. I really like His plan to come down to earth and live a mortal life.  I'm grateful that Jesus Christ atoned for our sins so we could be forgiven, and He gave His life so we could live with Him again, in other words, be resurrected.   I'm thankful taht the prophets of old had the idea  of keeping a record of what happened. The scriptures have the answer to almost every spiritual question.  Joseph Smith is my hero.  I'm really glad my parents named me after Him.  He is a very great example.  President Monson is a great prophet. He is a very great prophet. I think the choice with Him being the prophet is a very great choice.  I've never met him, but as far as I hear from him in general conference, I can tell that He is a very great man.  I say these things in the name of Jesus Christ, amen.

I've only got one week until I go off track, and then after that I only have three weeks until I go off for three whole months. I am going to home school next year.  It's going to be really fun, because Annie is going to home school with me. We're going to play a lot. We're going to play on the tramp almost every morning, I bet.  We are going to have so much fun, and I'm finally going to be able to help Annie with her studies for school.   Colton Hendriksen came up to me and said that he would have a longer summer than me. He's only having six weeks.  I'm having a three month summer.  He was all bragging and I was like "Actually, Colton, I'm home schooling" and he said "ah, dang it!"  Then he went to Spencer and bragged and Spencer said "Actually, I have the same because I'm going into 7th grade. 

Today we passed the 2000 mark on reverence points. We haven't had our reverence points party. We're having it on Tuesday this week, so now we have another party to go on now, which I'm pretty sure is going to be swimming.  We're playing night games for our first party, in case you're wondering. 

I play kickball or soccer almost every day at recess.  We have so much fun.  Sometimes the second graders challenge us. They have strength in numbers. They have three classes of second graders and we only have about one class of fourth graders.  It's a pretty even match.  I'm doing really good at kick ball.  I get at least two outs every outing.  I'm actually very good at offensive kickball, too. I can kick it way past second base.  When I do, I get to about third base before anyone even gets close to getting me out. 

That's what's going on now.
