Missing Packet

We haven't let Jorja take her phone to school for over a week. It is also locked so she can't get into it without Mike or I opening it up. I saw this message had come in from Traven. I texted it to Dessa who showed it to Jorja.
Turns out Packer never got Jorja's packed that she turned in yesterday, so her name wasn't on the ballot for freshman president. She went and talked to Packer after school. He had her packet. When Jorja went to turn it in yesterday, Cade put a blanket on her head. Cade is a senior and a student body officer this year. Why did he put a blanket on her head? We don't know. Jorja told him she needed to turn in her packet. He said he would lead her to the basket. He lead her to it with the blanket still on her head and told her when to drop it. Too bad he lead her to the sophomore basket. Hers needed to be dropped in the junior basket. So glad they figured this out. Packer got nervous because he hadn't gotten to the sophomore basket when he printed up the list. Anyway, Jorja was able to talk to Packer for awhile after school and everything is straightened out. Jorja is the only one running for junior class president. She still needs to get 51% of the votes though. Now it will be really embarrassing if she doesn't win!

Jorja spent today learning some Hannah Montana dance. I think it was called the Hoedown. She wants to do a video of that to post for campaigning. I'm proud of her for working hard even when she isn't against anyone. She spent most of the day learning that dance. Mike took her to Chick-Fil-A. Brynlee was there and they played around doing that dance. She had a blast.

Mike and I had a mini FHE lesson with just Jorja. Preston was already asleep. We showed her the video of Elder Oaks priesthood session talk. Where Will This Lead? I had been praying for answers to two questions during conference. I don't feel like one of those questions was answered, but this talk was the answer to the other one. I had been praying for help and guidance in raising Jorja. There is a story about a squirrel and a dog sneaking up on the squirrel. College students were watching this happen, but no one warned the squirrel until it was too late. Mike and I feel like the college students watching this, except we are frantically waiving our hands and shouting trying to warn the squirrel about the dog. The entire talk was great. With every decision ask yourself, "Where will this lead?" It was just a great experience talking with Jorja about this. Everything was calm and peaceful. We talked about a lot of things and it was just awesome.
