Well, this weekend was pretty excited. I had my first substitute teaching job on Friday. I subed for a special needs class at teh elementary. There were two teachers aides there with me, so they made my job pretty easy. It was fun though, I liked the kids I worked with, even though they were stubborn sometimes.
One of Jay's brothers, Gavin, had a great football game on Friday night. It was a pretty chilly night, and Snowflake was playing against Blue Ridge. They held well but lost in the end. Gavin had at least 5 catches, and ran, and then he made a touchdown, so it was fun to watch.
Saturday we hung out with our friends Kandall McCray and Kristina Beckham. they are getting married Nov. 5th. We had fun going to lunch, playing some basketball, and then going to the haunted corn maze. SCARY!
Today was our primary program and I am the pianist for our ward. They did a great job. I was pleased with thosed little kids and how well they sang. Life is great! Gospel is tru, sky is blue, God loves you, and I do too!!!! Ha Ha, funny little thing my seminary teacher used to tell me.

The will to win is nothing without the will to prepare
I just love this quote. My mother-in-law helped me to find it. It was given this last conference by Sister Dalton.
"I truly believe that one virtuous young woman or young man, led by the Spirit, can change the world, but in order to do so, we must return to virtue. We must engage in strict training. As the marathon runner Juma Ikanga said after winning the New York Marathon, “The will to win is nothing without the will to prepare.”12 Now is the time to prepare by exercising more self-discipline. Now is the time to become “more fit for the kingdom.”13 Now is the time to set our course and focus on the finish. A return to virtue must begin individually in our hearts and in our homes.
I hope we can all take this counsel into our lives and prepare ourselves and our homes for the battles that are raging ahead of us. If we are not prepared, how can we expect to be saved?

What a wonderful weekend!
This was a wonderful weekend full of inspiration and learning. I justlove hearing our prophets today and hearing what it is God wants me to change and improve on. To listen to or read any wonderful talk from this past General Conference, follow this link. http://www.lds.org/ then click on General Conference. I know that if we heed to the counsel that has been heard this weekend, we will be able to change and become the sons and daughters that our Savior would have us be. I know that as we follow His great example that we too can have charity and love towards all who we come in contact with.
