“Because love is the great commandment, it ought to be at the center of all and everything we do in our own family, in our Church callings, and in our livelihood. Love is the healing balm that repairs rifts in personal and family relationships. It is the bond that unites families, communities, and nations. Love is the power that initiates friendship, tolerance, civility, and respect. It is the source that overcomes divisiveness and hate. Love is the fire that warms our lives with unparalleled joy and divine hope. Love should be our walk and our talk.”
- Pres. Dieter F Uchtdorf
Yesterday in sunbeams, J came and helped me for the first little bit and the last part of the class. It was so nice to have him there because it really really helped with him there. The little girl who is likely to have three to four temper tantrums in class started but I was prepared before hand and with mr hubbins there to back me up she knew she was out numbered. I had to revert back to how I was taught to deal with problems when I did one of my practicums at James Short Memorial Elementary in Calgary for their Early Development Center. I remember my mentor whenever one of the children were at the start of the temper tantrum would just act super disgusted and say "Oh! No thank you!!" It would result in children being taken aback and stop what they were doing and so I started doing that with this little girl. But having J there and backing me up in whatever I would do really helped. Man she still has a huge attitude and when I try to get her to participate in class she makes really snarky comments I just ignore them. When L decided to temper tantrum when I wanted to take the craft they made home to complete it she was about to tantrum and I said fine take it and you don't get a butterfly next week. She started to complain to J and J said oh well I can't do anything if you take it you don't get anything next week. E will get a butterfly and you won't. She complained a lot but finally decided to leave her craft so it could be finished.
I finally have been on a route for visiting teaching and I can feel the blessings already in my life in the visit I have done this month. We had two sisters cancel at the last minute so that was sad but it is nice to visit sisters who are on my same level. It as amazing to hear the same things I have felt that my sisters I visit feel it also. I came home from visiting teaching with a greater love for J and all that he does. We weren't talking about husbands at all but I feel like it is an added measure of blessing that Heavenly Father has given me. And that was my Sunday <3 I am so grateful for a supportive husband and his kindness and love.
