Birthday Preisthood Temple Life is Awesome.

My birthday was a while ago.  My favorite thing I got was probably my archery target. I've been shooting my bow a lot.  In the morning I was ordained a deacon.  The bishop was nice enough to meet with me at seven o clock in the morning to get my temple recommend.  Then we went to Grandma Jello's and I had my ordination.  It was really fun. We had it in the front room.  It feels really good to have the preisthood. We had breakfast.  I had a lot of little smokies sausages. Those were a surprise from Grandma Jello's for me.  We had quiche and peach cobbler.  We were able to go straight to the temple, that's why we had the ordination so early. It was awesome. I felt the spirit so strong.  Grandpa Jello was able to come with us and all of my brothers except for Seth.  Deacon's quorum is fun. On my birthday I went to Airborn trampoline arena.

School on Friday was awesome. I'm off track now, and Nate's coming on the 14th of December. On Friday we had an auction.  In school we have a thing called ledger dollars you get for getting good math scores and stuff like that. Whenever you go off track you have an auction. We had that on Friday. I got a two liter bottle of Sierra Mist. We also had a ledger party which you can pay fifty ledger dollars and go to a ledger party every three weeks. It is really fun. You do a lot of fun stuff.  I did the most pushup in my class. I did 42.

I'm so excited for Nate to get here. We're going to build a catapult.  Or, in other words, a josephpult.

We went to the temple with Nate the day before Thanksgiving. His knee was blown out but he still came to the temple with me.

I'm fasting and I like hot dogs.

Today Seth and I were outside playing. I was rollerblading, and he was riding his bike.  One time we were going separate directions, I was going toward Grandma Jello's house while he was going toward our house, but then, right as I was going into Grandma Jello's driveway, I was strongly prompted to go back.  I turned around, started towards my house, and when I was about three feet from Seth (because I'm faster on roller blades than he is on his bike), Seth's front tire slipped.  When his head was about two inches away from a giant railroad tie, I was able to grab his jacket and pull him up with his bike. I don't think I would have been able to do it unless I was given power by Heavenly Father.  Normally, I would have fallen down with his bike. Since I got power from Heavenly Father, I was able to save Seth from stitches. I see this as a huge tender mercy.   If I wasn't there, he may have been really really hurt.
