This past Sunday was really amazing, I got a phone call from my Bishop on Saturday asking if I could be the youth speaker this week, the subject was on "Why is the temple important to me"
Well comes Sunday here I am, I got their early and President Larson from my stake presidency was there, before sacrament meeting started he came over and we talked a little, he said he was checking my blog this morning
Which I thought was amazing, I love it when people read my blog, I'm happy from the comments I get from people, saying how my blog inspire them.
As I gave my talk, I was stuttering a bit... I could of changed that if I done the tricks I learn from speech therapy, but I don't really do the tricks, cause I'm able to talk to people just fine, but in front of people like giving a talk, I get nervous and start stuttering and once I stutter, I just do it more, well in the middle of my talk I grab a hold of myself and stop stuttering.
Later in the meeting President Naef (who's now a temple worker) gave a talk also, in the beginning he shared a
scripture Ether 12:27 "And if men come unto me I will show unto them their weakness. I give unto men weakness that they may be humble; and my grace is sufficient for all men that humble themselves before me; for if they humble themselves before me, and have faith in me, then will I make weak things become strong unto them."
He said that scriptures reminds him of me,
the whole time I was shocked, I looked around and saw people, I turned to look over at my Sunday school teacher
(Who I talked about in two posts ago, he told me when his struggling and feeling down, he thinks of me) You can find that from here The Power of Deliverance- L. Tom Perry
He was crying, I felt really moved from it all.
When he was done he started his talk, which was very amazing, all of the talks were
After the meeting I stood up along with the other speakers, me and the Bishop shake hands along with some others. the Bishop looked at me (around my stomach area) and said "You been losing the weight" which I really liked too, people can finally notice
As I was walking down the aisle my Sunday school teacher came up to me and said "You are an inspiration to me" Along with saying my talk was really good
After Sunday school the Bishop told me and Justin (Another priest preparing for his mission) that their having classes on preparing to go in the temple at 7 o'clock at a member's house, I went there and I loved the class, I'm going to go back next week, this past Sunday has been amazing.
Endure to the end, stay strong in the Gospel and you won't regret it

Update 4/17/12
Hey there, it been awhile.
I went to Pasco North's stake high school seniors and parents dinner on the 13th I believe, it was last Friday.
The dinner was really great, the short talk/guidance given from our steak president, then we watch a talk given at a BYU devotional Brad Wilcox- His Grace is Sufficient. I would ask you all to listen to the talk, it's really amazing.
After the program then my steak president was handing out the talk to each family (He printed them off), he handed one to me and shook hands, he told me I'm a great man and said he been on my blog and I write really good, he then turn to my mom and said "He really write good."
I was happy when he said that, first cause he have read my blog, second because I don't think I write good, but as he have said, and so many others, I'm good with writing.
By next week I'll be in the 280's which is amazing.. 40lbs lost, can you believe that??, it's a lot of hard work and some days I go nowhere with weight, but I'm 3pounds away from the 280's now.
It take time, and a lot of sweat but in the long run, it's all worth it.
I was thinking what I could share with you in this post, and this video came to mind, I watched it in Sunday school class a few weeks ago, whenever I watch it, I feel the spirit so deep in my heart, I hope it does the same for you.

Update 4/3/12
Well, where do I start?
General Conference was amazing, I love hearing the talks, this time I had a question so I wrote it down and it got answered, I'll share what the question was and what I received as the answer, in a different post.
Two of my friends left on they're missions today, I have mentioned one of them on my blog a couple of times, his name is Spencer, his a triplet, he already have a brother in Texas for his mission, (Timothy) and Austin and Spencer are going to Brazil, not the same missions in Brazil, but they had the same flight and staying at the same MTC, they will confuse a lot of people, look the same plus both got "Elder Steele" haha
I last saw them at the priesthood session of Conference.. Spencer told me he was leaving this Tuesday and I said that's cool, or something like that, then we both just stood there for a couple of seconds, he then said "I don't know what to say" we both laugh and hugged each other.. I will really miss Spencer, I won't see him for four years because our missions will over-lap
But I'm proud of him for going out and serving our Heavenly Father, comes this fall, I'll be doing the same
My birthday is coming up next month, the 31st of May, I have lost 20lbs already, it is now the 3rd of April, I'm hoping I'll lose around 30-40 more pounds by my birthday.
If that happens, my birthday will be so much better then it'd be without losing that weight.
I'm thinking of having a party with my friend Justin, who's three days older then me, it will be a fun time.
I will miss being in the young men program, I'll try to stay in as long as I can, after I turn 19 but I don't think that will work out.
I can't wait until the Conference talks come out in the Engisn I love reading them.
I hope you all enjoyed Conference, and know that you're Father in Heaven loves you.
"There is help. There is happiness. There really is light at the end of the tunnel. It is the Light of the World, the Bright and Morning Star, the "light that is endless, that can never be darkened." It is the very Son of God Himself. It is the return of hope, and Jesus is the Sun. To any who may be struggling to see that light and find that hope, I say: Hold on. Keep trying. God loves you. Things will improve. Christ comes to you in His "more excellent ministry" with a future of "better promises." He is your "high priest of good things to come."
--Jeffrey R. Holland, "An High Priest of Good Things to Come", Ensign, Nov. 1999, p. 36
And now as I said concerning faith — faith is not to have a perfect knowledge of things; therefore if ye have faith ye hope for things which are not seen, which are true.
