Kindness is Key

So today was a little bit of a downer just because i had to take my Math final!! ah.. but anyways I went through it as best i could and then was off to Year Book.. Caleb came walking up.. i guess because after math we always walk to class talking about whats going on in our lives.. but he made me laugh because he had Cinnamon rolls in his hands and said "I'm going to go get Bopp to buy them for $2!!" haha then watching him trying to persuade him to buy them was really funny... but that made my day a little better..
Well after that i went home to work on the lesson for the Young women.. I really searched for the perfect talk to compare with what Megan and I planned for tonight.. i found a great one called "The Need for Greater Kindness" by President Hinkley( http://lds.org/ldsorg/v/index.jsp?hideNav=1&locale=0&sourceId=5469e2270ed6c010VgnVCM1000004d82620a____&vgnextoid=2354fccf2b7db010VgnVCM1000004d82620aRCRD) our former prophet!! He talked about how there is so much hate in the world and how we should not give into the advisory.. He said that the young women of the church are always so sweet helping one another to grow and to be picked back up.. helping and doing all they can do for others.. he was basically telling the men to be like that!! haha but i think it is great to know we have a power that know one can explain!!.. but anyways..
I set the mood i put up Christmas lights made a center piece and wrote on the chalk board "Kindness, Respect, and Love" these are the key components of the talk.. but it was great.. i read the talk explained that they were about to write something they loved about everyone that was in the room!! we also had the Spanish branch which was great i think the older girls really connect with some of the girls.. they are so nice and i love having them there.. the younger ones are still kinda timid but they are getting there.. there is a girl that is just investigating the church from Klein Oak!!! yes she comes all the way to Magnolia to go to church activities.. its great!! she might go to Priest/Laurel conference with us.. i am so excited and cant wait to see them again!! well the night went great and i think once we start using the things the girls wrote as spot lights on Sunday, they will really appreciate it!!!
You may ask why did you guys do this.. well over the summer some of the girls got into some drama.. Megan and i came up with a plan to fix that.. so now was the time that was opened.. i think it was great!! it also helped the Spanish Branch to open up to the girls even the leaders got involved going around to the girls and getting to know them!! :)
Tonight i just really felt the light of Christ... that feeling is so remarkable and you never want to lose it.. I guess I am doing good because Brother Albers called me tonight to give a talk in church On January 24! about Why I am grateful to be on the Earth today even when times are tough! I'm so excited!!! I am kind of used to talking in church but its great.. i don't mind it at all
well love you all night!!!
