Turd Alert!

We have been called to serve in the primary here in our new ward. We teach the CTR 5 class. 5 and 6 year olds. They are cute.. but my gosh.. crazy and obnoxious sometimes. Our first week was ok.. our second week we never wanted to teach ever again! And yesterday our 3rd week was SO WONDERFUL. Probably because the 2 problem children weren't there. We prayed before we went to church yesterday and in the prayer Dan said.. "bless us to love these children and to be patient". Heavenly Father definitely looked out for us yesterday. 

The Bad week.. we learned about "how God helps missionaries. 

so we had all of the kids draw a picture and we all wrote a letter together and we're going to send it to our niece Chandice who is on a mission right now. The kids didn't seem interested half the time but it was just one of those weeks that I couldn't handle it anymore and was going to scream at them. I kept my cool but .. goodness. The bishops daughter and her friend are the worst ones in there. Why is it that its always the bishops daughter that needs the most help?! Anyways.. they made their pictures and then this kid (I'll bring him up more later) wanted a picture taken of him. We ended up taking one of everyone and then he wanted his own. 

back tall middle one and one all the way to the left are the TURDS!

Now this little boy joey.. He can be a little piece of work but for some reason we have this love for him that is a love that we would have for our own child. He lives across the street from us and he's a foster child. Yesterday he whispers in dans ear.. "I don't have parents" and "I'm going to get adopted". Me almost in tears when dan tells me he's going to get adopted.. I don't want this little boy to leave. Immediately dan looks online to see the requirements for adopting a foster child. Now I'm not saying that we are going to be adopting him.. I'm just saying.. we love this child and I don't want him to leave. I think we should adopt him. HA but I don't know if the Foster parents would appreciate their neighbors adopting their foster kid.?? anyways this is him.

Joey. Heaven sent.

We do have some good kids in there too though.. not just joey. the little one who drew a rainbow. BEST kid. And the other little girl is a handful but nothing compared to the 2. 

YESTERDAY was good though. We set out a pile of jelly beans per child and we said.. if any of you misbehave.. we will eat one of your candies. everyone had a full set of their candies at the end. SO GOOD! 

We will see how it goes next week if those 2 children are back. We also have 3 other kids who weren't in the picture. Another boy and 2 girls. They aren't bad. Yay for loving our class! AND JOEY!
