I'm gonna be a mighty king!

Dear Reader,

The song for today is not really associated with how I feel, but it comes close. I talked to my supervisor today at the Missionary Training Center and realized that I have a lot of influence of what goes on with our crew at work. She was asking me for all these suggestions about how things should be done and I was taken aback by how much my opinion matters. Our conversation today made me feel pretty important.

On the flip side of that conversation, we also talked about the changes that will be coming up in the coming weeks to different stations. I will most likely be working more and more upstairs in the Training Center, rather than in the laundry room where I have been forever. The laundry room is a good job, don't get me wrong. My supervisor will most likely move me to a different area of work, though. This line of thinking is all based on our conversation from today.

I also feel like I have a lot of influence because of my ward. I talk with a lot of people. It makes me smile to hear about the cool things people do in their lives. The feeling of importance I get comes from people asking about what they should do in certain situations, be it relationship advice or talking about job opportunities.

Yeah, life is good. I can't complain in the least bit. I just can't wait to be king!

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...

I like Happiness

Dear Readers, Happiness is great, don't you agree? Just the other night, it was a very frustrating and confusing night out with the Ensemble yet again, but I came back to my friend's house to hang out and just decided that being happy was more important than giving in to my gossiping desires. The rest of the night was just brilliant after I decided that. This morning was another example: I woke up late and was again frustrated. What did I do? I went to school and decided to be happy. The rest of the day went great! Be Happy! :D

When You Wish Upon a Star

Dear Reader, One short day in the [Segovia] City! It is a beautiful city, to be sure. As part of our study abroad program in Spain, our group takes various trips to different cities here in Spain to see museums, palaces and history from several different eras of humanity. Today it was a pleasure to travel to Segovia. We had several adventures while we were there. First off, we stopped off at the Palacio de la Granja (Palace of the Farm). It was an attempt to replicate the Palace of Versailles in France back in the 18th century. We weren't able to enter the palace itself, but we spent about an hour walking around the numerous gardens on the south side of the palace. The palace gardens awesome. The pictures taken here don't do it justice. The gardens stretched father than you can see and the statues were absolutely beautiful. They were representations of hunting on the grounds with dogs, Greek Gods, and other famous figures from the middle ages. However, despit...
