Working and having fun!


Hey Yall,

This week I've learned that I love working where I work. Where do I work? Western Nut Company. What do I do? I work with Boxes. Lots and lots of Boxes. I pack boxes. I unpack boxes. Load boxes, unload boxes, move boxes, make boxes, brake boxes, etc. I love boxes. Did I mention I count boxes too?

Haha, no. It's not exactly that all the time. We also prepare the stations of nuts that go out to stores for the holiday season, drive trucks, count products and even do some shipping. My Boss is pretty awesome. He gets stressed, but he's still a great guy who really knows how to say what he wants you to understand. :) He sometimes doesn't understand what you're trying to say, but it's just important that the job gets done. I also work with a guy who is always trying to set me up on dates. He's a funny guy who personally declares himself evil. Why, I don't know.

The best part about work? I feel like I'm part of the crew. We come from so many different backgrounds: ex-missionaries, weekend drunks and young guns from California among many more. However, that does not affect how well we interact with each other. I feel like we're friends, even though we hardly know each other. I have to thank them for that. :)

So, if you ever wonder what to do at work, have a nice conversation with your coworkers and find common points in your lives. Thank them for what they do. :) I thank all of my good friends, Family and coworkers for what they do.

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.
