a childs prayer

you know I have been meaning to post for a few days. This past weekend we had general conference. it was so wonderful and uplifting. I used to think it was really boring and only enjoyed the weekend because I didn't have to go to church. It is amazing how life changes! I think I soo look forward to it because my testimony of the church gets stronger every day. the last talk as Pres Monson spoke I wanted to cry cuz it was over AGAIN! well I already have gone onto LDS.org and listened to one talk again. I also have had on BYU TV and enjoyed someonld talks and devotionals on there. I love church I think it is awesome!

ok- here ya go my childs prayer...

Saturday night Don didn't go to priesthood session (a special meeting for all men over 12) I was a little sad he didn't go but he hates going by himself. so he went out in the garage and decided to work on his old car. Jacob went with him to help out. about 9 jacob came in and said Dad needs you. I was like UGH now what?? so I got my butt off the couch and went outside to see what he wanted. He said he pulled a spring off and it flew he heard it land though. I was like whatever I can't find that tiny thing. so I looked around, got on my hands and knees and looked under stuff. said I don't know where it is and went back in the house (it was cold!) So a while later jacob came in and said dad found it! I said Oh Good! he said it was cuz I prayed. (heart melts) He said he prayed then don found it. after Don found it Jacob told him it was cause he had prayed. Don didn't even know jacob had prayed. he had prayed in his heart. What a faith booster! Then Don came in later and told me too. I think he is the sweetest kid!

They are sent to us to teach us. We learn as much from the children as we try to teach them. Jason and I were just talking about this the other night. When you have children you are softer towards others and you are able to think and act outside yourself. Thanks for the story. It is always uplifting to hear of a childs faith.
