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...

You make me dance like a fool, forget how to breath, shine like gold...

Dear Readers, Ok, so I can't fit the entire title into the title box. It's a good song, go look it up: "You make me smile." The title can apply to anyone, I've found. The rest of the lyrics would probably refer to a best friend or a significant other, but anyone can make you smile. They all have the own way of doing it. Some are just funny all the time and you can't help smiling when you're around that person. I know some who take care of people so well that you just smile when they're doing something for another. Others you can talk to about your problems and no matter what they say, it seems to make sense and you feel better...thus a smile. Ok, a smile doesn't always come in that case, but people usually smile after that. Anyone can have a blonde moment and make everyone smile because of it. I'm glad I've got friends who can do all of these: have blonde moments, take care of others or have an episode of hyperactivity that you can't he...

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...
