I'm not even sure what I did this week.. 

It has been rainy and a little dreary this week, but not enough for me to not get a sunburn on Friday when I did playground duty for a couple hours at Lakes elementary school. My poor white skin..

I had a ward conference today at the Yelm building. Only one more this year. This primary was good. But they have lots of challenges, they have quite a few kids with special needs. They do such a good job with all their challenges. It is a little noisy in there, but the spirit was still strong. One little girl is in the sunbeams class and had Down's syndrome. She was all over the place, but so cute and sweet!!

This years theme in primary is "I know the scriptures are true". Sis Turner tells them the story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego in the fiery furnace and how they obeyed their parents and Heavenly Father by refusing to bow down to the idol. I love how the children are so into this story. Every single time. (I am, too). She asks the children how they can liken this to themselves. They will probably never be thrown in a fiery furnace for standing up for their beliefs, but could be made fun of. She then tells them a story from the friend about a boy who is made fun of because he won't look at bad pictures on a phone. 

It is from the Oct 2015 Friend, Standing Tall, if you wanted to read it. Here is the link. https://www.lds.org/friend/2015/10/standing-strong?lang=eng

And it wouldn't be complete if I didn't send a picture of Hazel ;)

Love you!
