Sundays!!!

Wow what a change! Our ward here in Twin has always had Sacrament Mtg. last and it has been the bain of my life. We had our normal problems with the kids when Sacrament was first, but then when we started with this schedule the kids have been a nightmare during Sacrament mtg. No matter the amount of toys, snacks or bribes we came up with, it got worse every Sunday. All the mothers in our ward were on a campaign to change the schedule with the Stake Pres. and it finally happened. HALLELUJAH!!!! Today was our first Sunday on the new schedule and it was awesome. We sat down the kids and discussed new rules for Sacrament Mtg (like, no toys, no snacks, sitting quietly on the bench, etc) and consequences for not obeying and I was amazed at the difference. Of course we still had hiccups but compared to what we have been experiencing, it is hard to find words for how quiet it was in Sacrament Mtg. (If you have ever been in our ward you would know what I'm talking about) Anyway, it was great and Sam and I actually got to hear some of the testimonies that were shared and as you can tell I just love the change :)
