Prayers are Answered, Ask Baylee!!

I had to write about a sweet experience that Baylee has had this past month. About a month ago Baylee decided to start praying to Heavenly Father to help her get her back hand spring. She has been working on this particular skill at tumbling for about 9 months or so and has had no luck mastering this skill. She was very determined to have her prayers answered. The first day at tumbling after starting her prayers she came out of class and was all upset and said to me that Heavenly Father didn't answer her prayer and she was so disappointed. I explained to her that he can't always answer our prayers when we want him too and that we have to have Faith and keep praying. So she did every night and about a week or two after she mastered her standing back hand spring and then two weeks later she got her round off back hand spring! She was so excited and it brought me so much joy when she told me that she knew Heavenly Father had answered her prayers.  I'm so proud of her and her faith in saying her prayers, we recognized her on Sunday during our family home evening and told the kids about her goal of saying her prayers and how proud we were of her for setting such a great example for our family. She is now addicted to doing back hand springs and shows everyone who will stop and watch her. I also had told her months ago that when she got her back hand spring that she could have a new webkinz pet so the day she got it we went to the store and she picked out a webkinz pet that she sleeps with every night! I am so proud of you Baylee Boo and can't wait to see what you do next!!
