One Week Left!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can't believe how close I am getting. I got my visa and plane tickets on Friday, and my Name Tag came with it! When I saw the name tag it hit me as to how close it really was! I got scarred out of my mind. :) It was pretty crazy! I am really excited to go though! I can't wait! Only 8 days left!!!!!!!

Joao Pessoa State Flag

Called To Serve!

So the Sunday after I got back from E.F.Y. my bishop told my mom that I should be expecting my mission call on Tuesday or Wednesday. So when she told me I started freaking out cause that was a week earlier than my Stake Pres. told me! So I was totally stoked, and then i realized that my little brother Dallin was gone to Timberline (scout camp) until Saturday. So I would have to wait almost a week to open my call.
Tuesday came along and no mission call. I wasn't to bummed cause i figured it would come Wednesday anyways. Then Wednesday came and went and no mission call. By that time i was wishing my Bishop hadn't told me it was coming early because now it wasn't here. I didn't have to work Thursday, so waiting until 2 o'clock to come around was driving me nuts. Finally it came and i ran over to check the mail box...
And There It Was!!!
Unfortunately I still had to wait till Saturday to open it. So in order to keep myself from opening it I had to stay busy. I was either out with friends all night or upstairs playing games to keep my mind off of it.
Slowly but surely Saturday finally came. So where am I going..............
Brazil Joao Pessoa Mission!
I will arrive at the Brazil Sao Paulo MTC September 17.
and I will be speaking Portuguese!!
So basically, I'm totally Stoked!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(clapping)
EFY!!!
So this was my 6th and last year at E.F.Y. as a participant. I 'm so sad that it's over cause it was sooo much fun!!! Me, Michael, Dallin, Kendreck, and Devon all drove up to beaver Sunday night and stayed with my aunt and uncle, then drove to Provo Monday morning. It was so amazing! Michael was my roommate, and our company name was Common To Man. My favorite parts were the dances of course (basically because i got to dance with super hot young women!) and Thursday night which was testimony meeting. Thursday was the highlight of the week because your in church clothes the whole day and you do fun activities to invite the spirit. Then right before testimony meeting all the youth stand up and sing the efy medley, which I absolutely love! The spirit is always so strong and it's so amazing to see 1300 youth sing this song! Wow! I don't think there is anything better!
Oh, just as a side note... My mission call is coming soon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm soooooo super excited!!!!!

Future Missionary

I am slowly becoming of age you might say. The days are slowly creeping by, and at the same time I can't believe how close it is getting. 3 of my friends have left or will be going with in the next week and a half. Our time to hang out and have fun is slowly running out. We are trying to cram in all we can, the last snowboarding trip, the last hang out. It's kinda depressing, but at the same time so very exciting to see the change taking place in their lives and how excited they are to go out and serve the lord. It's amazing what preparing for a mission can do to a group of rambunctious young men who have been friends since middle school. It is so amazing to see your friends change and to see the light of Christ in them. To see how they glow, and how strong in the spirit they become. I am so excited and sad at the same time because by the time i leave, they will all be gone. It's so exciting and kinda sad to think the last few months before i go, all my high school friends will be out there serving the Lord. (sad cause i won't really have any one to hang out with anymore, except for Michael, Dallin and Hesston:) ) but my time is soon coming. My papers are in progress and all i am waiting on now is my doctor appointments. I am super excited to get out there! As I study, I'm finding a desire to feast and know more. I want to know all I can about the gospel and to be the best missionary I can be.

Game Of The Week

So I got tired of the Emo thing, so I put a new game on. It's my game of the week. It's a strategic game where you try to build your castle before your opponent, or destroy there's before they destroy yours. I think it's fun, and it gives me a reason to update my blog. Anyways, have fun:)
