i had to write a story of what happened to me at work today.  i have a regular named wayne that comes in every week.  we have a good time while he is there.  he is very laid back and just a good guy in general.  well he was there today and was there for about 2 hours and a table came in to eat.  they had 4 special needs kids with them and had them order their own food and drinks and seem to be enjoying themselves.  i was running around because i had 13 tables at the time and i came behind the bar to do something and wayne asked me to do him a favor.  i said alright what is it?  he said do not tell anyone but i am going to buy that tables meal.  he then told me that he had a brother that was special needs and he wanted to do something nice for them.  how awesome!!  it is good to know that there really are good people out there.  it is cool to know that there are people out there that have compassion for others.  i think i can learn alot from this experience.  i am so thankful that i was there today.  i thank my heavenly father for his tender mercies.  everyday there are so many things that reaffirm my testimony and to feel and see our fathers love.  

propostion 8

With the election this year and with the proposition 8 issue in california, I had the thought, why is the church persecuted even in this day in a country that was founded on the belief that each person is free to worship God in their own way.  Why are we hated for what we believe in?  it amazes me.  with all the persecutions and false ads and reports against the church, isnt it an amazing testimony that the church does not fight back.  it is truly what the savior taught to turn the other cheek as our enemies strike our faces.  how awesome it is to know that we have a prophet to lead us.  we have 12 apostles that work with him that know exactly without flaw or question what our savior and heavenly father would have us to do.  i am so thankful to my heavenly father that i have been given a testimony.  i KNOW that the church of Jesus Christ of later day saints is the only true church on earth.  President Monson is the prophet on the earth right now.  i know that joseph smith is a prophet of God.  I know he is who he said he was.  i know he saw what he said he saw.  

p.s. Thank you to all the Californians who voted for proposition 8
