Mosiah 2:17 "And behold, I tell you these things that ye may learn wisdom; that ye may learn that when ye are in the service of your fellow beings ye are only in the service of your God."

On Mondays I have the opportunity to go to Buddy club and eat lunch with kids with disabilities. I love it! The kids are always smiling and always so happy when you walk through the door to eat lunch with them. Kids with disabilities are seriously my favorite people ever! They mean sooo much to me! A few weeks ago in math class the boys in my table started making fun of people with disabilities. This all started because I was wearing my Buddy Club sweatshirt. The boys stared saying that children with disabilities were mentally and physically sick. They said that if I keep spending time with kids with disabilites I too would become disabled. I kindly told the kids to stop saying these rude remarks but they would not listen to me, they just kept being rude. I was in the verge of tears and was also about to punch them, for anyone that knows me I am not a violent person. I did not know what to do. I got up and went over the teacher to ask a question even though I already knew the answer, I just needed to leave the group. As I was walking back to my table I said a quick prayer that I would feel love towards the people in my group. As soon as I said amen peace overcame me. I sat down glad that the subject had changed and that I was no longer being made fun of. I began to work on my homework and the kids at my table acted like nothing happened. When I got home I began to cry and wondered how people could be so rude. Before I went to bed I opened up my scriptures to D&C 64:10-11 in verse 10 it's say that we must forgive all men. A sense of peace came over me and I new that I needed to forgive the boys in my math class. Although it was hard I have now forgiven these boys I even began to help one of the boys in my group who had been teasing me the most with his math. Through this experience I have learned that it is important to forgive everyone no matter what! Each Monday I am reminded the importance of forgiving others and that we must be kind and love one another I'm glad I have had this trial and I am glad that I have the opportunity to spend so much time with so many wonderful people! I love kids with disabilities and I know that they and every one are loved by Heavenly Father.~Mica <3
