So they had the baby. It had complications getting here, but they think it's going to be ok. We think But we are still hoping and praying. Kent and Lindy have both been through a lot today. We are planning on going to see him tomorrow. Who knows about conference-- I've been looking so forward to it but this is more important - being there for family.
I went walking this morning with my walking group. We did a relaxation exercise and talked about ways to cope with stress.
I came home and relaxed had lunch and got dressed for the day. Then I've been reading and texting friends.
My home teachers stopped by-- thank you so much. It was nice to see them. And we got the call about the baby as we were watching the Mesquite- Moapa football game. When we left Mesquite was ahead by a touchdown without one quarter left to play. It was a good game even if the refs didn't like us to well tonight. Just heard we won the game.
My scripture reading has been about scribes. And it will be tomorrow's thought to and scriptures.
Tonight my thoughts are with Kent and Lindy and our new baby Emmit Clark Jones.
Everything will be ok. I'm sure they all did a great job considering the circumstances.

So I'm feeling better today.
I volunteered at the library we had 10 bins and it took us a little longer then usual but that's ok. I was dragging and wasn't feeling good. Mostly tired I woke up last night and couldn't sleep.
Needless to say I came home and slept and I feel better.
I finished reading the gospel principals manuel and checked out a book from the library. Kingdom Keepers Disney after dark. I've read the first chapter and so far I like it.
I watched the newer version of freaky Friday and fixed an ate dinner. Now I'm just chillin.
No baby yet.
In my scripture reading today I read about pride. I've got some pride in me. Everyone has pride but I've got to learn to swallow it sometimes. I know at times I need others help but it's hard sometimes. Its hard and I get scared. Talking about letting yourself feel vulnerable again. I think with baby steps I'm making some improvements.
Some small headaches tonight. It might be cause I still need new glasses but it might just be my brain hurting.
Anyways I've been having more good days and I'm smiling more. I just have hard days some days but I'm trying to work on my positivity. Find things each day that are positive. I'm way to hard on myself sometimes but that's what I've been learning in therapy look at where I've come from and it's not all or always my fault. I'm trying to do the best with what I've been given. Just lately it's been hard in some areas to do my best. But I've got to give myself some credit.
I've got walking- stress group tomorrow. From about 9:00 to 11:00.

Today I slept in , read, and watched tv. I had a good day just not much to do.
Tonight I went and helped Jamie assemble her treat bags.
No headaches last night or bad dreams. I know when I have a bad dream..I've learned to pray, but I think I've found a way to comfort myself when I'm scared. I'm hoping it will help me a little with my mom.
No baby yet but soon maybe..she's dialating tonight.
In my scriptures I read today about old covenants are passed away because Christ fulfilled the law of Moses and now we have new and everlasting covenants.
I'm hoping some of my nonmember friends watch conference this weekend. They may not be to happy with me but before all the crazy stuff I have been a pretty good example to them. In my heart I want them to understand the best way I can teach them about love and about and through the spirit touching their lives. I've tried my hardest to reach them or come up with ways they might understand. Its taken a little trial and error but I do respect them and the things that they believe. I just don't ever want them to ask me why I never told them the things that I know. And I love my nonmember friends so much.
Don't worry I'm ok but I'm in a little pain tonight because of my feelings. I think it has something to do with my sister but I'm not exactly sure what's wrong. They say Its good for me to write about my feelings. I usually write to my friend but I know a journal is good too but Maybe I should tell my sister. I kind of have to talk to her in a round about way about my feelings, but I'm not even exactly sure at this point what it is that's bothering me like I don't really know what is wrong inside. I'll keep thinking about it. In the meantime keep me in your prayers.

This morning I had a med clinic appointment which went ok. Then I went to the grocery store.
I've been kind of bored at home. I've been watching tv and made me some dinner.
I'm watching the karate kid the new one that came out .. I haven't seen It yet.
My scripture study was on the importance of record keeping...so important.
No headaches or bad dreams last night so glad.
Not much going on today or tommorrow.

I went to my groups today. In anxiety group we talked about where anxiety comes from. We are trying to identify triggers. We talked about the importance of expressing your feelings and did some deep breathing exercises. I am still finding myself afraid of being or feeling vulnerable.
In women's group we talked about our support groups and areas of supports in our life's. We also talked about life stressors and ptsd. We are going to discover some of our strengths and weaknesses next week. We also answered some questions and got to know each other a little better.
I was suppose to go on some relief society errands tonight, but we decided to go another night.
In my scriptures I studied about the rise of the church of Jesus Christ of latter day saints when it first started and I was thinking how far we have come as a church since those humble beginnings.
We also talked about in groups the importance of keeping a journal. I'm trying to save space in my journal for conference this weekend. I noticed some journalds on sale though I will have to check out.
Anyways I haven't felt to anxious today a little during anxiety group cause it's new. And I haven't really felt depressed today.
Oh I did have a few headaches last night and I had a bad dream but my brother was there with me in my dream so I wasn't as scared. So that's a plus.
I've also been thinking about self help books which I like to read, but the best self help book of all is the book of Mormon and the biggest strength of all is found in my savior Jesus Christ and his atonement.

The Tausinga Family talked and sang in our ward today. They did a great job. The girls did awesome talking about covenants and the holy ghost. Kristi talked about some of her trials in life and also did a good job. Felipe talked about having a sure foundation.
In Sunday school we talked about the nephites waiting for the sign of Christ's birth. We also talked about the importance of coming together with unity...there is strength in numbers.
In relief society we talked about repentance and forgiveness. I am one to hold grudges but I'm learning its not a good thing. I have had to forgive someone in my life that was really hard to forgive. I am currently trying to forgive other people that have done me wrong and or offended me. Its not easy but prayer really does help. And so does relying upon the atonement.
I have also been working on repenting and I hope others forgive me. There has been quite a few accidents and I am sorry and feel bad for the things I have done wrong and I am trying to turn over a new leaf.
So thankful for the atonement of our savior Jesus Christ.
I had a relief society meeting after church then I went to Jamie's and We had dinner and visited. Jamie and mom and I.
I am looking forward to my anxiety group tomorrow.

A great conference
Today I got up around 12:00 noon well was up and moving by then. Went and had lunch with my mom and came home and read and rested.
At 5:00 we went to women's conference Which was so good. They talked about something I've been thinking about for a long time speaking kind words to each other and being positive in our talk. I am thankful for the sister who talked about mental health issues I've had some similar powerful experiences. For the sister who told US to rise up and understand the doctrine of Christ. And for president uchtdorf who talked about his women of sunshine and having faith and not giving up. It was so good.
In my scripture study today I learned about Christ being Alpha and Omega. And I learned something that when he Jesus Christ died He overcame all the temptations of Satan in this life and that is why he has the power over Satan. It was a pretty powerful lesson today.
Tonight I'm sitting here contemplating the messages I heard. Sometimes I just wish the spirit of those meetings would last longer then they do. What a great meeting so excited for the rest of conference I have been praying for the speakers and am looking forward to it.
That's my night.

I just heard my uncle Alvy passed away earlier in the week ..makes me sad.
I didn't sleep very good last night and I had a bad dream. Maybe I'll sleep better tonight.
So I got up and went walking this morning then had a stress group where I made a mosaic butterfly. Then came home and have been under the covers.
Was going to go to the homecoming game with my mom tonight. Football game, but she ended up having a small cold she's trying to get rid of.
Its also my friend Larraines birthday today.
Well I didn't get my scriptures read today and I need to repent. That's about how my day has gone.

So I went and volunteered at the mesquite library today. We had 10 bins not bad. Got done around my normal time.
I came home and laid down with a blanket over me cause I was cold and I ended up falling asleep. I had a hard time getting to slep last night but when I did I slept good. O was a little sad last night I don't know why and feeling really anxious. I woke up about two this afternoon then I was on the internet for about an hour and watched tv (Reba) for about an hour before I went down to the family history center.We kind of watched and-or listened to the homecoming parade down there.
Tomorrow I'm getting up and going walking with my group.
My scripture study was about how the spirit manifests to US when things are true or right. I am so thankful for that manifestation that he gives me in my life.

So my phone is being slow today.
Jamie texted me early this morning and said I could use her computer...so I got up and went over there and finished my laundry and used her computer.
Then I came home and slept cause I didn't sleep well last night. Just couldn't go to sleep. I got up watched a little tv but mostly did my dishes. I also made a strawberry cake if you haven't had a strawberry cake before you should try one it's very good.
Oh Susan called from Mesquite Behaviral Health Center and I guess I agreed to join a walking group on Friday's and then do a stress group with her before coming home. I don't really know why I agreed to the walking part but I did. Maybe it will be good for me.
In my scriptures today I thought about hoe Joseph Smith must have been relieved when he learned that three others were to be witnesses of the golden plates.
I don't know what I'm going to do tonight maybe watch a movie.
Today is my friend Bethany Jensens birthday. Happy birthday Bethany.
Tommorrow I volunteer at the library.

Today I didn't have anything to do. I was up around 8:00 or 9:00. Got dressed about 11:00 and went to the store about 12:30 where I ran into Lynne Anderson.
Jamie texted me and said that the music teacher at there school wants my help to do there Disney kids show. I'm excited and hope I can help I just don't know what the next few months will bring for me. But I'm going to help as much as I can for now.
I've been watching chopped junior to pass the time and now I'm sitting in my room. Don't really have anything to do tomorrow either.
So my scripture ponderizing was on the word Hearken today. How many times do we hearken to the spirit- what the lord wants us to do?
Mom and Jamie have meetings tonight so I'm just chillin and reading and watching tv.

9-19-16 A Group Day
So I didn't have any headaches last night. Just some small ones this afternoon.
I started my new group today the anxiety group. We talked about the different kinds of anxiety and I learned that I have a lot of anxiety in most of the categories. I was a little anxious being there today, but I did ok.
I also had my women's group this afternoon. We talked about our goals and a little about what we wanted. We also talked about having a strong social support system. I am blessed with many good friends. I am very lucky.
My scripture study thought was about how sometimes God speaks to us with " sharpness" and about the power of God how powerful he is.
Now I'm just chillin at home getting ready to cook some dinner.
No baby yet.

9-18-16 Another church day
Church was good today. They talked about conference in sacrament meeting. I can't wait for General conference. There are two conference talks that have influenced my life Brother Healey gave us our senior year when I was on seminary council. One was called Beware of pride the other is called the balm of Gilead.(however you spell it.) I have also drawn close to Thomas S. Monson lately who is the prophet who helped me with my testimony of the atonement and how to trust and be at one with Heavenly Father have the same goals and the same plan. He will always be a special prophet to me. Brother Anderson talked to us about families and to always remember the sacrament.
In Sunday school we talked about Samuel the Laminite. Hardening and softening of hearts and steadfastness.
I got set apart during Sunday school and the council the lord gave me I wasn't expecting but I'll try my best.
During relief society we talked about what makes a good parent. I think good communication skills are important and I liked that they brought up elder Ballard talk of having family councils.
Well I wouldn't have watched the game but Jamie had me help her set up her New tv today. I'm so ecstatic that the Denver broncos won. They were playing the Colts today. And we won.
I am now home relaxing. I start my new group tommorrow the anxiety group and I'm a little anxious.
Ok so I had more bad headaches last night I thought it was cause I need new glasses but I think it's more then that. Anyways I didn't sleep well last night, but maybe I've gotten to much sleep lately. Oh I finished my books too about Brigham Young. It was an ok book. Not what I was looking for but oh well so I started a new book I'm reading the gospel principles manuel now.
And that is my day.
Busy day tommorrow with back to back groups. I'll let you know how it goes.

9-17-16 My Saturday
So I had another scary dream last night. I also took some tylonal for an earache last night and this morning so I slept in and was lazy. I also had some bad headaches last night so I was thankful for the tylonal.
I got dressed this afternoon and went over to visit with my mom. I thought I needed more gas for my car but I have enough for tomorrow.
Now I'm home have eaten dinner and just relaxing. I also discovered that my CD player wants to work now in my car. Yay.
My scripture study for today was that the book of Mormon is a marvelous work again. Man that book is so important.
No baby yet though. Still waiting for my nephew to be born.

9-16-16 Another Day
Ok so I had a nightmare last night then I turned around and had a nicer dream. So
This morning I got to sleep in but it was another therapy day today. I went and saw my therapist in town. We talked about our thoughts and but mostly about grieving.
I came home and read a little, was a little bored and a little sad and then iwatched some tv. Tonight I went to the ward party. It was good. The food was good.
My scripture study was again today on conferring and how it needs to be done by the proper authority. It was really good scripture references and scripture reading. It's amazing how it was done in the same way in bible times as it's done today.
And that has been my day.

9-15-16 Today
So today I volunteered at the library we had about 10 bins not bad. Then I went to do some errands where I discovered Smith's parking lot is crazy cause they are repaving the majority of it, but I survived.
Then I came home and slept and caved in and watched an episode of Star Trek the next generation which was good. It was on Tv. Then I went down to the family history center where I discovered there is a lot of Edward Jones' in my dads family line. So it's been a discovery day I guess.
My scripture study I've been studying and pondering the word confer so I was thinking about how it has to be conferred through a direct line through Christ when they confer the priesthood. It's tomorrows study too it was kind of long so I broke it up into two days.
And that has been my day today. Now I'm home resting and relaxing.

9-14-2016. A Therapist day
So I've been really stressed lately but today for some reason I've been very calm.
Went to my therapist today in Vegas. We talked about a few things but mostly how it's important for me to voice my opinion when and especially when I don't agree with someone mostly about owning my feelings and we talked a little about depression. I have like a delay sometimes though like I don't really know how what someone says is going to make me feel so I don't recognize right away that I need to own my feelings then. Maybe it will just take me being more aware of it. He said talking to a friend is good but it's better if you can get your feelings and opinions out. I felt better after talking to him.
I came home and chatted with a friend then actually made some dinner instead of having breakfast for dinner.
I also colored some in my adult coloring book the colors just kind of came together and Its turning out better then what I thought. It looks nice.
Also in my scripture study today it talked about a great work. Meaning the book of Mormon again I think. And just the gospel in General.

9-13-2016 My day
Slept in again today and I didn't want to get up.
Got up went to Smith's to pick up my medicine.
Went and visited with my mom and came home discouraged upset and depressed. Am trying to talk to a friend about it but it has to do with teaching and my future and my self- esteem. Am feeling pretty down.
My scriptural thought for the day was again the book of Mormon being a marvelous work.
I have to go to Vegas tomorrow to talk to my therapist then I have an appointment with my mesquite therapist on Friday.
Got up went to Smith's to pick up my medicine.
Went and visited with my mom and came home discouraged upset and depressed. Am trying to talk to a friend about it but it has to do with teaching and my future and my self- esteem. Am feeling pretty down.

9-12-16 My day
So today I slept in this morning which it was nice to catch up on my sleep.
In the afternoon I had women's group where we talked mostly about self-esteem.
After women's group I stopped at a friends house Elinor Lewis to wish her a very happy birthday, but she wasn't home. So I went and helped mom get some peaches she ordered.
After that I came home and had dinner and went to our first 30 and up singles activity- it was an ice cream social. It was nice to socialize and there was a nice group lots of nice people just kind of really diverse in ages but the important thing is to have fun and enjoy yourself right.
My scripture thought for the day was on prayer and asking the Lord when we have questions.
That's been my day.

9-11-2016 Remembering September 11 and church day.
So I was at home (my mom's house) getting ready for work when September 11 happened the attacks on the us. I worked at an elementary school. Our principle told us the children may be upset by what has happened and to be careful but we could give them a one arm hug to reassure them things would be okay. I taught special needs kids and found that one of my students didn't understand what was going on but just wanted to hold my hand that morning cause they sensed something was different.
My brother was on a mission in Ecuador and I bought him a magazine and me a book to help us remember that day. I think what is more important is to remember the lives that were lost and how we as a country became United,and also the prayers that were lifted up to God on that day.
So it was also church day today. In sacrament meeting they talked about the importance of General conference. I remember watching as a kid and always looking for the prophet Spencer w Kimbal and Ezra Taft Bensen. My real love of conference didn't come though until I was in seminary. We talked about how important it was and I started looking forward to it every year.
In Sunday school they were talking about trampling the commandments of God under there feet and what it meant. There were some good comments. I was thinking about how maybe something might be just a little wrong but we tell ourselves it's ok. You know justification and trying to justify it to ourselves.
Relief Society was about marriage an eternal partnership but I didn't have much to say about that subject.
Anyways went and had Sunday dinner at Jamie's now I'm home and wanting to take a nap. Who knows what I will do this afternoon. I usually don't read my scriptures on Sunday which is weird except along with Sunday school. And I usually don't know what activities to do on Sunday. Sometimes I email our missionaries. But I need to find more wholesome activities.

9-10-16 A walk, some tv, and a dinner
So this morning Jamie and I did the suicide prevention walk in Mesquite. I walked for the five people that I have known who have committed suicide. It was a special day for one of them who was a family member who had a birthday today which made it kind of even more significant and special. We all need to take care of our mental health issues recognize the signs and get and accept help when needed. We walked for six laps a mile and a half. I'm sure our loved ones were right there beside us.
After I came home from the walk I slept for a few hours. Then I was pretty bored. I finally decided to watch tv. I watched chopped junior and some Reba.
Then I went out to dinner with my family. Kent and Lindy and the boys came by and we went with them and took Stone with us out for pizza.
Its close to bedtime cause I have to get up early again for church tomorrow.
In my scripture study today my thought was on Oliver Cowdry who was a school teacher and a scribe to Joseph Smith. Was also contemplating spiritual gifts. I know one spiritual gift that I have is the gift of discernment I can tell when something is not quite right. I like to think of myself as another Radar at times. In some ways. I'm sure I've been blessed with more gifts even though they are not visible at the moment. I hope that I use my gifts for good on the world I hope and pray sometimes that I don't mess up and make mistakes and if I do I hope I am forgiven. Its just heavenly father understands how hard my life has been and he understands what it is that I need. What it is that is good for me.

9-9-16 A good day.
Went to the police department to get a few things taken care of early this morning.
Watched some tv and made some dinner for a friend in need this afternoon. Been chatting and visiting with a few friends today. And went and spent some time with my mom.
Now I'm home relaxing.
My scripture thought for the day was being beloved. What would it be like to be beloved of God and Jesus Christ. We are beloved by them especially when we keep the commandments.

9-8-16 Library, family history, and scripture study
For those who don't know-I volunteer at the City of Mesquite Library on thursdays helping alphabetize books people ordered before they go on the shelf. Seeing how we had labor day weekend we were quite busy today with 20 bins. Usually it takes an hour and a half today it took me three hours. That's ok though I enjoyed it and its good to be busy.
Went down to the family history center visited with my mom and did some indexing and some research. It was fun.
In my scripture study today my thought was on the same thing as the other day. The book of Mormon is a marvelous work.
In other news they were going to wait to do Preston surgery but the Lord heard our prayers cause they think they can get him in sooner. Yes God is good.

9-7-16 Library helper and a boring day
Started out this morning helping my sister at her school in the library..some May say I'm a traitor, but I'd rather be at my old school , but you do what you have to do for a sister in need.
The rest of my day has been pretty boring. I've been on the internet. Tried to entertain myself with my adult coloring book but it's been boring.
This afternoon I visited my mom and came home and had breakfast for dinner that's been nice.
In other news please pray for my cousin in law Preston Thorton his health is not doing well at the moment and he's going in for surgery to have a pick line put in. My sister in laws baby is breech if it doesn't turn they will have to do a C-section.-Maybe life being boring is better then excitement like this.
Just kidding-
In my scripture study I had a few thoughts. Was pondering Martin Harris today and how the lord taught him the process of repentance through revelation given through Joseph Smith. Was also thinking about the importance of witnesses.
That's about it for today.

A disapppointing morning but a nice evening.
My doctors and therapist appointments were cancelled this morning they both called in sick so I was a little disappointed.
The highlights of my day was seeing my nephew's Ian and Wyatt for a few minutes and night relief society. I'm thankful for an emergency binder that we made and was grateful for such good company.
My ponderizing scriptural thought for the day was How is the book of Mormon a marvelous work? It is in many ways isn't it. I love and am thankful for the Book of Mormon which is another testament of our savior Jesus Christ and am so thankful for the sacrifices made and the care of that precious book.
