Baby, it's cold outside!

Dear Reader,


Utah has been getting cold as of late. I think the high today was in the high teens. Oh well, we are surprisingly surviving pretty well here in our 6-man apartment. I haven't been writing much lately and I sincerely apologize for that. You see, there is this girl. She is pretty great. She keeps me pretty busy. Busy doing what? She keeps me busy thinking about her wonderful smile, introducing me to the many friends she has because of her loving personality and helping me improve myself. I like being occupied in activities like that. :)

Also, I have been pretty busy adjusting to a new work schedule because I recently switched jobs. It was a sad parting from my coworkers at the Missionary Training Center a couple of weeks ago. Now I am getting settled in at a new job in BYU Broadcasting. Basically what you see on the website for BYU Radio is the product of what my coworker and I do. It is a fun job because we kind of get to delve into detective work. You see, there are many files and archives of Radio shows and TV shows that we have to manage in order to organize the Radio schedule. We have shows going back to the 90s that we use on our regular broadcasting. It is like a mystery to find out where the different files come from so that we can find all the information. Our job is quite enjoyable.

Between all of these new things happening, we have the weather to battle against lately. Baby, it is cold outside with all the snow on the ground after a couple snowfalls we have had. They weren't crazy storms, but the snow was coming down heavily.

Baby, it's cold outside.

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

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...
