some saygobedo's

Ok so lately I've been trying to be more patient. I've been praying about it and REALLY trying I'm the oldest of 8 so it's kinda important to be patient, right? Anyway, today I was thinking about my family and things like that when I had the thought that maybe God has placed me in a big family to help me learn patience. Then I had a saygobedo to put that on this blog. I don't know why I felt the need to do this or who might read this but I hope it will help someone. I also had a saygobedo to make a bigger effort to get along with the people in my ward. I haven't ever really gotten along with them, but I've never really tried. I had another saygobedo to do more thing with my younger brothers and sisters. I have no idea how following any of these saygobedo's will turn out, but I guess I'll just have to see.

at the Temple

hey! so yesterday, we went to the Temple with our youth group for baptisms for the dead. when we were waiting outside (in the rain) i had the thought to touch the Temple before i go inside, but i didnt do it.
after the baptisms, the stake president talked about the temple, and told us how the Prophet said we should always touch the temple before we go inside, and im really really sad i didnt fallow it.

i havnt had any saygobedos, not really, and it makes me really sad )':
anyways, the only ones iv had has been to be extremely happy at church, and i really am happy now.

for two days, i was really sick before going to the temple, incuding feeling like my stomach was trying to kill me the morning of the trip. but once i got inside, i didnt feel as bad, except when i was about to be dunked under when i felt like i was going to die. i realized that satan was trying to make me feel my worst so i wouldnt go to the temple, and once i got there, trying to make me make the day miserable for everyone around me and not appreciate this wonderful day, but by choosing to be happy and not gripp about it despite the pain, i had such an awesome day. so the recurring saygobedo is to be happy, and guess God is trying to teach me a lesson. (in the past, i would never talk to anyone, and give them all the death glares cuz i thought they hated me, and would make going to church miserable.)
so i guess thats the lesson i will always have to learn, fallow, and keep with me, so i encourage you all to be as happy as you can be, and try to smile for at least two hours (those two hours should definitely be when your with others, and if your not with others, suck it up and SMILE!!!)
BE HAPPY!!!

Say go be dos....

so i havnt had any saygobedos since wed... i feel deprived... (jk)
the first day of this blog, i had a saygobedo to call my brother orion and see if he was ok... i didnt follow it and now i cant help feeling like i wont get any more since i didnt follow one... :'(
i hope i get the chance to follow another saygobedo, and i hope i do it.
(how has your guys's day been??)

Be Happy

so yesterday... well in the begining, it was a tough day. i didnt have any Saygobedos, and i was super tired. i feel really bad about being a sour-face all day on the last day of school, and i didnt talk much to my friends. im really glad school is over!
anyways, when i got back from school, my older bothers (kelby, cyrus, ammon) took me to see the move Thor. (SUPER AWESOME MOVIE!!!!!) and that was really, really nice of them.
when i got to church, i had a saygobedo to be a really happy person, be happy about everything, and everyone, and tell everyone i love them.
i had a super awesome day after that, and im really glad i fallowed that saygobedo. we played a game and because i was so happy and i wasnt mad that my team lost, and i kept saying 'it doesnt matter who wins or loses, as long as we all have fun together' we all had a great time.

i think this is the MOST IMPORTANT saygobedo you could ever have!! if you are always happy, you invite the spirit and you make it easier to fallow saygobedos. if you grudge about doing a saygobedo, and you dont have a happy spirit,what makes you think your ganna have another saygobedo?
if you are happy about your work and take plessure in everything good, you will make other people's days. so i say to you : BE HAPPY!!
trust me, its worth it!

Fingure Happy

yeah i guess you could say i'm a little Fingure Happy with the key board and posting so many things in one day, but what can i day? i love it!
so last night i was reading Say Go Be Do and i had a thought to make friendship bands for all of the girls that will be in my YFF group. i estimate 10-12 girls. i just started the first band. i have no idea why i should do this or what outcome it will have, but i know its in God's hands, so i will Say what i need to say, Go where i need to go, Be who i need to be, and Do what i need to do.

spelling

to all the people reading my blog, heres a lesson on spelling, never mix up LDS and LSD. totally not the same thing!

My Saygobedos

yeah i know this is my Thrid post today, who cares?!

last month in April, i went to spend a week with my cusins in Steamboat Springs Colorado. we stayed in a nice room and had alot of fun. the facility that i stayed at had a swiming pool and a hot tub. Now, in my family, most of the talk is political or mostly educational. we were discussing with my Aunt and Uncle about somthing... i cant really remember, but it was about Government or somthing like that. anyways, a lady sat down in the hot tub with a baby on her lap. the baby was African American and the mother was American. i could tell she was listening and i was always making points whenever i could. i had a Saygobedo to talk to the lady.
i had always been rather good at talking to new people i think, but i didnt listen for several minutes. (Bad Tenaya) i decided to talk to her about the baby girl in her lap.
"your baby is very cute, did you adopt her?" i asked. the lady laughed and said;
"no, her Father is from Africa."
i introduced myself and told her my name. her name was Heather.
"so, what grade are you in Tenaya?" Heather asked, the baby gigling in her lap as she splashed at the warm water. (it was so cold it was almost snowing, so the hot tub's water was actually cool enough for the baby)
"i actually dont know, really, i'm home schooled so i never keep track of it." i said, knowing the conversation was heading to somewhere good, since i had had ones like this many times before.
"oh really? that's amazing! so what do you study?" Heather asked.
"lots of things. i study history, i'm learning about WW I &II, i just finished learning about the Civil War and the Revolution. and i study Shakespeare, in fact, my school is about to perform 'A Comedy of Errors' and last year we did 'As you Like It'." by now, the conversation about Government had taipered down to just my Dad and Uncle talking while my Mom and my Aunt listened to my conversation. we continued talking about homeschool and Heather confessed she was afraid to send her daughter to public school when the child was old enough, especially since the environment was so terrible, the drugs and the occassional, but dreaded, shootings, the morality isues and many other things. i told her many of my expiriances of public School such as getting beat up by a bully quite often, the teachers were always harsh about me not doing well at reading which led me to hate reading until well after i was out of public school and so on. she then said how she could never find a schooling program that she felt was right for her child and i told her about TJED and my Religion and how much homeschooling helped me understand and love God and my religion Much, Much more. she got excited and my mom gave her our phone number and such.
Heather later called asking for more info on my schooling and if TJED had a website.

the main point of this Saygobedo, was i introduced Heather to a new type of homeschooling and might very well have changed HER life and her CHILD'S life, not to mention future children. had i not had the courage to talk to a total stranger, i never would have met and had the privilege to know this woman and her baby, and i think i would have always regretted that.

what is Saygobedo?

How many people know what a Saygobedo is? not many. i never knew what it was untill i read the book Say Go Be Do by Tiffany Rhodes Earl.
I'm LDS, and a saygobedo is a promting from the Holy Ghost. Saygobedo is just kinda what you call a prompting from Heavenly Father and the Holy Ghost.
i dont really know how to explain it to someone who doesnt believe in God... i guess what i would say for sure is it is ALWAYS from a good source. it never comes from the devil or whatever. and if a thought enters into your mind that ISNT good, its not a saygobedo. if something is telling you to do somthing bad like say yes to drugs, its NOT from God, its from satan, trying to lead you away from the straight and narrow path that leads to God.
So, i guess if you want to learn exactly what a saygobedo, read the book!!

my reason.

So people are probably wondering why I'm doing this.... or maybe you've seen hundreds of these and you can guess.
Well, I am pretty dang sure of what my reason is for doing this .... but this is another way of finding out. I know God is there, and I know he loves me. Saygobedos are his way for me to help love others like he loves me; so I can feel that love for others. When I hear people talk about fulfilling saygobedos, they talk about that love, and how it means more to them than their own lives; knowing that they could help others and show them that they love them.
I REALLY, REALLY hope people will follow my blog. Tell your frineds about it; tell them to tell THEIR friends about it.
