Today i woke up early and got to go to my basketball game. We won by 2 points! We are still undefeated. It was a fun game but the refs wouldn't call any fouls. My couch was going berserk. Now i get to see my dad and Pete in a bike race!

Today Brigham and i went down to the park to go play a football game with some of the other people around the neighborhood. It was really fun but Brigham kept on coming after this one kid. They got into a couple of fights. I'm really excited for Cory and Shannon to come down for Brigham's baptism. we are gonna have so much fun!

My talk

I was asked to give my talk on a topic from the strength of youth pamphlet. The topic that stuck out to me was Physical health. The lord has commanded us to take good care of our bodies. To do this you should eat healthy food, exercise regularly, and get enough sleep. In doctrine and covenants 89 verses 18 through 20 it says “All saints who remember to keep and do these sayings shall receive health in the marrow to their bones and shall find wisdoms and great treasures of knowledge, even hidden treasures and shall run and not be weary and shall walk and not faint,” what this scripture tells us is that if we keep our bodies clean we will be rewarded. We should never use tobacco products like chewing tobacco, cigarettes, or pipe tobacco. They will damage your body and even shorten your life. We should also not drink coffee or tea because these are harmful and addictive. Any form of alcohol is harmful to your body or spirit. It could lead you to break the law of chastity or other commandments. Drinking can lead to alcoholism, which destroys individuals and families. We should never let Satan or anyone else lead us to think that breaking the word of wisdom will make us happier. I would like to bear my testimony that I know that this church is true and that Joseph smith translated the book of Mormon and that president Hinckley is the true prophet of the church and I know that if we obey the commandments then we can keep our bodies healthy I say these things in the name of Jesus Christ amen.

This is my conference talk. I was really nervous i thought i was going to mess up or something but it all ended up find.

Yesterday i had a basketball game. i got no points but i did good on defence. We won the game 26 to 29. Then i came home and watched TV while everyone else went to get frozen custard. they brought me back black raspberry it tasted really good. Today i have to give my first talk in church so I'm nervous.

Today i went over to my friend Michael's house. He had rockband that had not been opened yet. So we set it up and it was really fun. I play the guitar. I almost made it to medium. Michael is like a natural drum player. He is so good. On Thursday i get to have basketball practice at 8:00! I've never had a practice that late. Dad came home today but he leaves tomorrow.

Saturday

Yesterday we woke up early and got to see our uncle do some cool tricks on a skateboard. Brigham thinks he's like tony Hawk. After that we went to Amazing Jake's. When we did the go-carts my dad span me out. so we had to stop the ride. Then I had my first (scrimmage) basketball game! We played against a really bad team so we killed um. i was a lead scorer with 10 points. then after my game my friends on my team came over and we messed around on our skateboards. Brigham got this jump for his skateboard for his birthday so we put it next to the grinding rail. Brigham can almost make it all the way across the rail! then we went to the skate park for a little bit.

New Years! New years is always fun we stayed up and watched someone jump a whole football field on a motorcycle. he beat the world record and then did it again to try to beat his old record! he got 322 feet! i got my basketball uniform and i got #2 that is one of my favorite numbers. My custom basketball shoes should be here today I'm rally excited!
