[BELL RINGING] [GRUNTING] Come on. It can't end in a tie. Ashlee, give me the time. Don't get sassy or I'll tell Mom. Just tell me! Fine! 58 seconds till recess is over. 55-- We've got to win. Hey, Matt! Matt! Not now, Travis. Oh. OK, sure. Well, when I come over after school, I'm going to bring my fantasy trading cards. OK? Later. You're distracting me. 42, 41, 40. Oh. I didn't tell you. I'm not listening. I got a double card with the Blue Wizard. The Blue Wizard? No kidding! The wizard of infinite healing? [OPERA SINGING] I'll trade you two of my dragons, an army of elves, a herd of unicorns if you want. Just name it. [GRUNTS] Goal! We win! We win! [GROANS] Ouchie. What were you doing? Sleeping? You weren't even facing the right direction. Wake up! Do over? Please? You OK? It landed right on your face. [GROANS] I told you over and over to leave me alone. I lost the game because of you. [GRUNTS] Oh. Matt, I-- Why would he do that? We want a goalkeeper, not a goal sleeper. We want a goalkeeper, not a goal sleeper. Leave me alone! We want a goalkeeper-- [DOORBELL RINGS] Hey. Did you still want to trade for the Blue Wizard? Sorry. Can't hang out. Didn't get my chores done. Oh. OK. Maybe another time? [DOOR SLAMS] [SOMBER MUSIC] [SIGHS]

Matt. [YELLS] Stop sneaking around! Why did you push Travis at recess? Why do you think? He made me lose the game. And all I did was give him the ball. He just fell over. Maybe you should apologize. No, he should because now everyone thinks I'm a horrible player. Oh, Matthew, I'm sure they thought that way before today. [SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC] [GROANS] [SCREAMING] Save me! Good morning, brothers and sisters. We'd like to welcome you all to sacrament meeting on this fine Sabbath morning. My name is Brother Allred. And we'd like to welcome all of the visitors. We'll start off today's service lifting our spirits through song by singing the hymn "Do What Is Right." [ORGAN PLAYS]

[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]

Hey! Suzy, sit up straight. [SCOFFS] Today's lesson is on forgiveness. [GROANS] Matt, have you ever had an experience when you've needed to forgive someone? Actually, I recently heard a story of a kid who has a friend mess up his entire life. But this friend didn't seem to care. And the kid felt that his so-called friend should say sorry, but the so-called friend wouldn't. Even though the kid's entire school class hated him and--and--[CRYING] and won't let him play soccer anymore. And then-- [BOYS CRYING] I think I know who the mystery story is all about.

Matt, remember to say your prayers.

(MUFFLED) Dear Heavenly Father, [INAUDIBLE].. Amen.

Hmm. [MUSIC PLAYING]

Mm, Trent. What? I'm just watching. Nope. You're on my team. That's it. Teams are full. [GROWLS] (SARCASTICALLY) Wow, what amazing friends I have. Not!

Jason, no one will even let me play. And it's all because of Travis. Eh, I'm not buying it. Travis wouldn't do that on purpose. Just forgive him. Why should I? I didn't do anything. He did. Do you remember your promise? Promise? What are you even talking about? What did you promise when you got baptized? You'd take Christ's name, remember Him, keep His commandments, and lift one another's burdens. I mean, you can't be angry with Travis and keep your part of the bargain. [SIGHS] All that feels impossible. Well, it probably does if you're spending all your time being angry at him.

"And now, as ye are desirous to come into the fold of God, and to be called his people, and are willing to bear one another's burdens, that they may be light; yea, and are willing to mourn with those that mourn; yea, ... and comfort those that stand in need of comfort, and to stand as witnesses of God at all times and in all things, and in all places ..." Matt, remember to say your prayers.

Dear Heavenly Father, please help me to not be angry with Travis. Father, how can I make this better? [DOORBELL RINGS] Hey, um--I--I'm sorry that I got so mad and shoved you. I, um--I'm just--I'm sorry. And I'm sorry for messing up your game.

Wow, that feels amazing! I know! High five. [LAUGHTER] [UPLIFTING MUSIC]
