Should old Acquaintance be forgot...

Hey yall,

Happy New Year! I do apologize for not writing sooner. Not too long, I know. However, I feel like a million things have happened since the last time I spoke to you last. We talk very serious things here. I try not to put my problems. Why? Because life is beautiful! That's why! This new year we have to enjoy is going to be filled with a million and half adventures. The best part of all those adventures? I don't have to experience them alone. Actually, the best part is sharing them with other people. Then hearing about their adventures. Then it gets even better when two people share an adventure and they share it with a third party.

The adventures of this year are done and most have been closed off. This new year is another opportunity to 'Arise and Seize the Day' as Newsies put it. There is a new semester of School starting, which has long been awaited by Dale. New semester, new classes, new friends and much more new knowledge and wisdom. A new adventure will begin with his closest friends and very exciting adventure with a very special Young Woman.

Ahora bien, para los que entienden del idioma español, espero que este año sea grandísimo con respecto a mi crecimiento real. Soy un Hijo de Dios. Como tal, tengo el privilegio y responsibilidad de mejorarme en cada aspecto de mi vida y llegar a ser un ser celestial igual a mi padre. No soy perfecto ahora. No soy capaz en este momento de ser un buen padre y esposo. Me encantaría ser asi ahora. Sin embargo, no estoy preparado. Es un paso que quiero tomar cuando llegue el tiempo y espero ser el hombre que mi Padre quiere que sea y que es digno de mi esposa.

Yo sé que Jesucristo es mi salvador y que murió por mis pecados. Los tengo muchos. Trabajo arduamente de vencerlos, y  olvidarlos.

Am I Proud to Be an American?

This weekend is the 4th of July, or Independence Day in the United States of America. One of my favorite songs during this time of celebrating the country is "God Bless the USA." The words paint a detailed picture of the beauty of the United States, both in a physical and emotional aspect. Our country is often depicted in a majestic manner such as this, making it seem like the greatest in the world and we often hear those bold words, "I'm proud to be an American."  With all of the issues that have been cropping up over the past couple of years such as impeachment, systemic racism, foreign intervention, and most significantly the COVID-19 pandemic, I have reflected deeply about what we celebrate with the 4th of July. These issues are just a few of the many that have made me wonder about the country we praise so proudly.  Am I really proud to be an American?  Thomas Jefferson wrote the candid words of the Declaration of Independence, which were th...

Book of Mormon Stories

Dear Reader, Today I simply want to share a story that has strengthened my testimony of the Book of Mormon over the years. Professor Felix Mynhardt was fluent in many languages, including English, Afrikaans, Hebrew and Egyptian, as well as many others. He was employed as a language professor when he had been praying that the Lord would give him some divinely important task that would justify his having this gift of language from God. In 1970 he visited with a group of Mormon leaders, who sought to commission him to translate the Book of Mormon from English into Afrikaans. He said that he knew of the Book of Mormon from his religions studies, and his initial reaction was that he did not want to be involved in translating it. However, that evening, as he prayed upon his knees, as was his habit, he said the Spirit of the Lord convinced him. The message was something on the order of, "You asked me for a great, divinely inspired task of translation, I sent it to you in the form o...

I've Been Watching You

Dear Reader, Our little boy has not even arrived yet and I am already feeling the pressure to a good example. All growing up, I was always told to never do anything that I wouldn't want my children to know about/do themselves. "Always be on your best behavior, your children will watch you." I will be honest, I have always agreed with that idea and I think it is a good way to live your life. However, I didn't feel the weight of that responsibility until my wife got pregnant. I feel like I am getting more and more pressure from myself to be a perfect example, even though this little boy hasn't even met me yet. That's why I am relating so much with this song right now. I know, this isn't too deep. I just wanted to share the song more than anything.
