I had this little story that I want to tell.  And it was about this video that I really wanted to watch, but I had a feeling that I wasn't.  Because my Mom told me I wasn't aloud to watch it, but I really wanted to watch it.  And I wanted to do what my Mom said so I didn't.  And because I already had like 5 nightmares.  One was I was afraid the house was going to sink into the Earth.  And the second was where this green animal, its trained, and every single time it hears a bell sound it steals stuff.  And I'm afraid its going to come into my room and hurt me and steal all of my stuff.  The third one was my favorite, but I still had nightmares.  And it was about a gnome and the gnome had hands that if you shake them it would glow and each time you shook them it would automatically turn you frozen forever.  And the fourth one was the second one I was scared of, but I felt better when I had the blessing and prayer.  And the fifth one, it was actually not in the video, it was one of my nightmares.  It was about the first part, its like there was this bad guy, and if he shoots you two times with a bullet; me, Errolyn, and Emma were in it.  He finds me and shoots me once, but I still have a second one.  And he finds Errolyn and Emma and doesn't shoot them.  Then after that, there was this karate kid that was supposed to kill him.  Then another bad guy shot the karate kid two times and then he died.  Then he shot me a second time, and then he shot Errolyn and Emma, but Errolyn survived and Emma did not.  Then after me and Emma died, we turned into feathers and we could only look one way.  Then after that me and Emma stay in a feather for a long time and we went into this tube in Errolyn's room and me and Emma were in it.  Then me and Emma tried to climb out of the tube.  Then we were stuck because there were little balls in there that were food.  And me and Emma stayed in there for 5 days and we survived.  Then there's like this button that blows up air and it blew out me and Emma.  Then after that, it started the dream all over again and I just woke up completely.  And I had another one, Shamu eating me.  

In Primary, I was told to answer this question for the Primary program and this was my question and answer.

Share a time when you have been comforted or guided by the Holy Ghost. 
A time I have been comforted or guided by the Holy Ghost was when my Dad gave me a blessing.  I watched this scary video and I was very scared that something that happened in the video was going to happen to me.  I asked my Mom and she said that my Dad could give me a blessing.  My Dad talked to me in my room about what things were making me scared and then he gave me a blessing.  And after he was done with the blessing I felt a little better.   

But, I was still scared.  I tried to pray so I could forget the part of the video that was making me scared and I was praying every single night so I could forget.  But, I was still scared.  I just knew the prayers and the blessing had to work.  And so I asked my Mom again and she said that I had been eating a lot of sugar lately which can cause scary dreams.  And my big brother Cameron told me about two nightmares he had when he was younger and that he prayed about them and he wasn’t scared anymore.  And after talking to my Mom and brother, I prayed one last time that I would not be scared, and I felt the Holy Ghost comfort me and I felt better.  And after that, I started to forget about the scary things and not be scared as much.

And otherwise, I'd like to bear my testimony.  I know my church is true.  I know Joseph Smith translated the Book of Mormon.  And I Joseph Smith helped build the Kirtland Temple.  And I know I have been trying to be more honest and all of those right things.  In the name of Jesus Christ, amen.
