Down to the prairie beta

The day the time we were going to Magrath had come. Mom had packed our stuff and we were ready to go. Before we left I claimed to have saw a coyote, but my annoying siblings didn't believe me. After that we were off, and several cramped miles later we arrived in Nanton. First, we went to Subway, which by the way is a great restaurant. First you pick your own toppings, next the food is delicious and nutritious. After that we went to the candy shop. They got gum, Snickers, Reese, mints, licorice and a nearby antique store where my brother bought a dagger and a toy pistol with an unusually large bayonet. After travelling through Fort Macleod, Lethbridge etc. We finally reached Grandma Bonny's house. After that we got settled down and I played some Wii. After dinner we got ready for bed. The next day was a late start. My mom was planning on going to Cardston so that was what we did. In Cardston they have a temple where my parents got married and where my all five of my great grandparents live (The sixth died.) I'm lucky I have relatives that live this long to know me! Anyway we took Grandpa Harold out for DQ which by the way has nice onion rings. After that we said Good-bye and left. I'll tell you one story one of our previous trip to the south. One time we were driving down and I saw smoke on the horizon, I thought "oh maybe a there is a BBQ" but as I got closer I not a BBQ it was a fire. You might think it's a camp fire but you're just dead wrong. It was Granary Fire!! Due to dry wood and relentless heat it turned into a tinderbox, thankfully no one was hurt. When we arrived we did the usual, then got settled for the night. The next day my brother Grayson was excited because my cousins Isaac and Caleb were coming over tonight. Anyway we went to Grandpa Lyman and Grandma Joyce's place. We got settled down and talked with each other. Did you know a man in Lyman's family participated in World War Two, but died in the Italian Campaign. After we went home, we visited Grandpa Bob's sister Cathy. Her house is amazing! She has a spoon collection, a fireplace, a treehouse, a Windows 7 computer and other unique stuff. She also lives near a dam. then later that evening we went back to Grandma Bonnies's home. The next day the me and my cousins woke up to go to Waterton. When we got there it was snowing! Cameron Falls was frozen and I went down to the stream. And discovered something amazing! even though I'm skinny, I can still take down a 100 pound Grayson. We went to the lake and threw some rocks. We also saw deer while we were in Waterton. After that we went down to Twin Butt. You know that store and restaurant? That's where we went. They have really nice food. Even though they sell beer (see Alcohol: Drink or Deathbringner for details.) After that we enjoyed our last day in paradise (I think) 'cause the next day we were going home.

Considering conference

This blogpost is about what I learned during General Conference. First I learned about judgement of others. Dieter F. Uchtdorf taught me that if I was judging others, I had to stop! I have to respect others no matter what. Next was about forgiveness. The prophets said I have a right to forgive all men. So the quote I said at pearl harbor at the memorial "I'll never forgive the bastards who bombed this ship". I actually regret it once I heard it. May I mention the choir sang beautifully. And mom was sad that some people were being released. The church news after it said the was going to be the first French temple, in the city of lice er sorry lights. We had the priesthood session. And I remember every speaker. Adriàn Ochoa, Richard C. Edgly, David A. Bednar, Thomas S. Monson, Dieter F. Uchtdorf and Henry B. Eyring. I'm glad they guide us like living Liahonas.
