Football and Softball

Yesterday we had the first football and softball games [not scrimage] of the season. Woohoo!! I don't play softball but most of my friends do so I went to watch them and pretty much all of my guy-friends in 7th grade play too. In softball they kicked butt, they played so awesome. Either that or Show Low is just really bad but I think they were great. The cougers only made it to base once but they never made it home. The final score was 13-0 St. Johns.

The football team though didn't do as well. They played good they just didn't play as good as Show Low. We lost 34-12, I found out today that both touchdowns were made by Spencer. We were so proud of him. Mr. Raykovitz asked Kadee,Taylor, Lauren, Riley [Raban], Brandon [Price] and me to do the chains and downs. Taylor did the downs the whole time and Riley, Brandon and Kadee switched off with the chains. Brandon and Kadee were doing it most of the time. The only bad thing about doing the chains was that we were doing it on the away side of the field so we were right in front of the Show Low football team. Riley pretty much just made friends with them but they started really annoying me mostly because they were all saying how good they were and how bad we were. I just wanted to turn around and punch them, except for number 1 and that number 34 kid cuz he was pretty cool. Number 1 was really the only hot one of their team [I know you were all wondering ;)]. I think that our team will get better because our grade is really good but I think they were all just sorta nervous for the first game. Or maybe not, I don't know.

Super Sunday

Today while we were watching the Olympics after church my mom started to hand out church magazines for us to read. She handed me this month's New Era so I got some colored pencils and my scriptures. I started to read a couple stories then I got to an article by John Bytheway called 5 Scriptures That Will Help You Get Through Almost Anything. I started reading and looking up the scriptures. I got to scripture two and decided that I wanted to give a FHE lesson on this because it was so good. So I told my mom that I would prepare the lesson then I got my Personal Progress book because there was a goal I wanted to pass off during my lesson. I also got the hymn book because I needed to pick out my two favorite hymns, memorize them and the conducting patterns, and conduct them during FHE. So I did the Personal Progress goal and moved on to my lesson. I started re-reading the article and the farther I got into it the more I liked it. I marked all of the scriptures for future reference and now I think I have a pretty darn good lesson prepared. I really liked reading my scriptures and the New Era this Sunday and I think I'm going to start trying to do this every Sunday. I can't wait to teach my family about what I learned and bare my testimony of the scriptures to them. And hopefully let them see that chocolate chip muffins really are good. :)
