A great feeling!

Today was ward conference for our ward. I loved every moment of it. The primary presidency came and taught our kiddos. Our little sunbeams sometimes do not like to sit still and were being very antsy and a little on the naughty side.

If the kids are good we give them gum when we get to class to show them that when they are good they get rewarded for their behavior. Well today we had to move a couple kids and then they were fine.

I was sitting in the classroom waiting for Steve to come in when one of the kids (one that I have been having problems with for a few weeks) told me that I HAD to be nice to him. I looked at him and told him that if he wanted me to be nice and have fun with him that he needed to be nice to me too. I could see by the look on his face that he had no intention, once again, to behave once I started the lesson. I just knew that I needed him to understand that if he wanted us to have fun in class then he needed to help me and not talk over me and be disruptive.

Well we started discussing the gum situation. I said there are a few of you who do not get gum today. I asked them what they had to do to get the gum and they told me they had to be reverent in primary. They understood why they would get the gum. A couple of the kids (one who was gonna get a piece because he got better after we moved him) said we don't get gum because we were not being reverent. They pinky promised me that next week they would work hard to get their gum. This one little kid (who told me I HAD to be nice) looked at me and said, "I get the gum." I looked back at him and told him that he did not gum because he was not being reverent like he was supposed to be. He started pouting. I ignored him and got on with the lesson. After the prayer he asked if was gonna get a treat when we were done. I let him know that if he listened and helped me out that I would let him have treats but he could not act like he had the last few weeks.

We learned about honesty and the kids loved it. The child I was having problems with at the begining asked me if it was ok to take the gum. I looked at him and said does it belong to you? He shook his head. So then I asked, "What do you think would happen?" He told me he would get in trouble and he would feel bad.

It was such a good feeling to know that for one- the kids understand what I want from them and they know how they can get that and they told me sorry and two- this kid I was having problems with finally realized that I wanted to help him and be his friend and he was gonna let me. I was soo cool to know that I am helping Heavenly Father to teach these little kids what they need to know.



Also, I went to the doctor last week and we talked for a while. I told him that I have been having headaches, swelling, and also alot of very strong braxton hicks. I asked him what he thought. He told me that my blood pressure was fine but those sounded as though I could have preclampsia. He told me that I was not allowed to be up and about as much as I used to be. I was on bed rest without having to be in bed. I walked out and started stressing it. I just thought and thought and hoped that my baby would be ok. I have been so worried about it. A couple nights afterwards, I was headed to bed and I looked at Steve and said I need a blessing.

I knew that if I kept stressing about this it could be bad for me and my baby. I couldn't do it. I needed help and I knew where I needed to turn.

There are few things in life that I know and that is one. Its not in my control! Heavenly Father has a plan and I need his help in EVERYTHING I do. He wants me to ask for his help and he wants to help me feel better. I know that without his help and comfort I would probably stress myself right into the hospital. I am so glad that we have this gospel on this earth. Its here for a reason and its nice to have that feeling when you are doing something right and when you recieve the help you need.


The last few days have been very touching to me. I have learned alot and I know I still have ALOT to learn! I am so greatful for all the stuff I have in my life.
