A Week and a Day

Only one week till I fly out of Georgia back to good ole Utah. Have pretty much everything I need to take back in just a carry-on. One night with family there and then of to the MTC! Just counting down the days! I'm done with all my talks and what not and am ready to start my service in Tacoma Washington!

What the Lord has Instore

On the 21 of October I received my mission call in the mail! I opened it up at the temple and found that I have been call to serve in the Washington, Tacoma Mission and I'm reporting January 26th! I know this is where I need to go and I can't wait for my to time come.
It is a strange thought, all that I have been preparing for is soon to come to pass. I am afraid that these 2 years will fly by, but I am determined to do my best with the time I've been given. It is difficult to focus on school since I received my call. As vital as I realize my education is, it seems far less important that the 2 year journey I am about to embark upon.

The End of The Beginning

The beginning was my preparation for my 2 year full time mission. This preparatory time will soon be up. The mission call is going to be here soon! I was hoping to get it this past Thursday, but didn't.
I'm currently out here at BYU-Idaho. Surprisingly no snow yet! Classes are going great, aside from the two history classes, World Foundation and American Foundations. I love history, especially American history, just not the classes. I'm going on dates here and there, but mostly just school, work, and preparing for my mission. It's great having a temple so close and available to use just about when ever.
I don't really have any pictures to post because I don't currently have a camera up here.
When I get my call, I can't promise I'll remember to call everyone. It's nothing personal, it just might slip my mind. I will post where and when here!

I'm Still Alive

Yes, I am finally posting again. :) It's been a while. Currently nothing is happening except work, but in just 2 months I'm going to be heading out to college!!! :D I am more excited than ever! I've already signed up for my classes and can't wait to head out....not that there is anything wrong with where I am now. Don't get me wrong, still love my parents. :D Anyways, I'll hopefully post again in the near future.

Michael My Bro

I totally saw my brother during the Priesthood session of conference last week, and it was amazing. He was in the choir of missionaries who are in the MTC (Mission Training Center). We saw him in the opening and the closing song. He looked great, and we are actually buying the video of that conference.

Senior Pics

A while back I had my senior pictures taken and this is the first time I have had the computer and my cd of pictures at the same time. These are just a few of the 120 that I had taken.

The Beach

Right now I am at Myrtle Beach in South Carolina. I am here with the deLeon family. So far we have gone to the beach, gone biking, watched movies, and some other stuff. It has been really fun and I'll post some pictures once I get home because I left my camera hook up at home.

EFY, Steady and Sure

I went to EFY(especialy for youth) the first week of July. It was my first time and an amazing experience I won't ever for get. We did a lot of fun activities and there were also many spiritual experiences. One of the fun things was a variety show. And I took some videos, but because of some problems I am not able to post them at this time. I also sang in the chior that performed. It was a great experience and I would recommend it to anyone who is thinking about going.

The Summer

The summer just started!!! Yesterday I had to go in for my last final because I wasn't able to take it on Friday. I have been working as a lifeguard and will be for the rest of the summer. Every day that I am in town, I am working(except for Sundays)...how fun. This summer I am going to Green Bar(leadership camp), EFY, and a week in Florida with some friend. Besides that it is work work work.

Michaels Mission Call

I just figured I would start posting on this blog today, cause my brother just got his mission call. For those of you who don't know he will be serving for two years in Hungary. Our entire family is so excited. He will be leaving September 10th. The only problem with this is that we will not see eachother for four years after he leaves, because he will be returning September of 2010, and I will be leaving for my mission hopefully that same year at the beginning of the summer.
