Okay, my first journal and I am excited! I realize my life and that of my family is going to quickly not to be recording it down. I am awful with writing and think an online journal will be easier for me to keep ... so here it goes! I just hate to forget all that is happening.
We had church today and Michael bore his testimony. He truly is a spiritual boy. He said, "that was my longest one yet!" I know it makes him feel good and he is a really good example to both the Primary children and to the Young Men. We have Stake Conference next week and then the next week is Michael's last day in Primary. I can't believe it! But he is excited, and so I am excited for him. It is both sad and thrilling to watch him grow and mature.
We still have no nursery leader and I am realizing that by being a leader, lots of people like to express their frustrations to you. I am also learning just to listen and love them. It's just as frustrating to me that our callings are not filled, but it is best just to listen.
Michael had a 2 flag football games yesterday and scored one touchdown, I think. I thought he had 2, but Jonathan said one didn't count or didn't quite make it or something like that! He works very hard, and he just loves to keep busy. Jonathan took him and two of his school friends to the Navy Base in the afternoon, and they had a nice time. They were supposed to play basketball, but there was a tournament going on, so they played PS and ping pong. Michael is starting to have a desire to do lots with his friends, but the problem is that at least to me, they seem a lot more socially advanced. We think they are TOO advanced and really don't want Michael to be getting into parties, girls, etc. and that is what those otherwise nice boys are interested in. Thank goodness Michael isn't interested in that, either.
