Bro. Salmond was as great as he always is-I just want to be a sponge in his class and soak up everything. What really influenced me tonight however were my home teachers who called me as I was trying to figure out how to eat all my left over stuff from my fondue party. I bought an onion and tortilla chips. I have some ground beef I'm going to fry with some onion and garlic then mix in some of my cheese sauce. I'll just nuke it for some delicious nachos for lunch. I have so much angel food cake. I have an entire cake I haven't touched. I'm going to buy some jello, pudding, whip cream and maybe more strawberries and make some type of dessert then freeze small portions so I don't end up throwing the thing away. My left over bread will make some great sandwiches too.

My home teachers changed my living room lightbulbs. It makes such a huge difference. Josh gave a beautiful lesson on families and how important it is to forgive one another. I know I'm doing that with David. He really hurt me and it doesn't make me want to repair our friendship BUT I know I need to get over it. I like to think I'm this innocent little lamb that was treated cruelly. While there may be some truth to that if I keep hanging on to that he becomes the lamb. I keep thinking, "BUT IT'S NOT MY FAULT... AGAIN!!!" In our FHE lesson David talked about how everyone responds differently and enjoys different things. We need to learn what these are and respect those differences. It doesn't matter whose fault it is, unless we can sincerely forgive others we shouldn't expect the same patience and love be shown us when we mess up. I've never fought like this before with ANY of my friends. However when we get along it's great.

I've been thinking of how many times I've told David, "When I was a family home evening leader...," I'm sure he wishes I would've shut up. It was only our first activity since we all talked. I shouldn't be so hard on them. Sometimes I forget that people can be shy just because I'm not. I enjoy talking to and meeting new people. I didn't want to hear why David didn't want to listen to the debates so I just ignored him when he started to tell me. That wasn't very kind and certainly wouldn't encourage him to be sincere, open, or sharing with me. Mike Larsen didn't want to watch the debates either. I didn't dismiss him the way I did David. I wanted David to want to watch the debates. I was irritated when he didn't want to do that and I didn't bother to listen to what he had to say.
