What time is it? Summer time!

Dear Reader,


High School Musical contains lots of good music. I hope you know that. This summer time has a totally different atmosphere than the regular school year does. In college, there are still some who are taking classes, but I feel like there is so much down time to be had by all my friends and family. Some are taking advantage by working more, others by preparing for missions. The trick is finding time to enjoy the company of all these great people. This week has been full of good times with my friends.

The week started off with a great Family Home Evening which was simply a Memorial Day movie, Saints and Soldiers. Not everyone showed up, but all those that did enjoyed the movie and we talked about what we are up to for the rest of the summer.

On Tuesday there was a surprise party with all my coworkers from when I worked at the Missionary Training Center. One of them is preparing for a mission in Europe and wanted all of us to get together at least once before she leaves. It was a great time! We went up the canyon and played games with water and fire. I didn't realize how much I missed all of them from that crew. We always have so much fun, despite how different our interests are.

My roommates and I have had more time to talk this week, too. I love living with them. They really are great guys.

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.

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...

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...
