Blog Anniversary

Hey guys, I'm happy to say that my blog has been around for a year now, I meant to post on the 13th of October but I thought I started the blog on the 15th of October, I'm kinda bum out that I missed the date but o well, I will still share what I had planned to do for the anniversary of the blog.

I still remember when a friend of mine suggested I should start a blog. I thought no one would read it, I had no experience with blogs, but I just dive right in and started one, here is my first post Life trials bring out our strengths
I sent an email to one of my really good friends who is now on his mission, but when I sent it to him he was at college, his name is Spencer and I have probably mention his name before. but this is what he said
"that's so cool!  It puts chills down my spine.  Keep that up - blogs gain momentum as you keep going.  I've heard a lot of great success stories about blogs and through blogs.  You are in a unique situation and you have a lot of strength, and that draws people to watch and learn and be touched."

I'm grateful to still be doing my blog, it's amazing that it has been a full year already!, I plan on doing my blog during my mission, send my mom emails to post on here.

I'm grateful for Heavenly Father and him in my life, before I moved to Kennewick I prayed I would make some friends at the single branch, and I did, I have a good amount of friends

With living in town missionaries have been in my branch the whole time I been here, I became friends with Elder Peterson, an amazing guy and I'm glad I have gotten to know him, I plan on having him here when I open my mission call, it will be amazing, his done with his mission in the spring or summer, so hopefully he won't get transfer before I get my call, which I hope can be soon... I haven't started on my papers yet because I haven't gotten to my "Mission paper goal weight" which is 250lbs.


I'm thankful for the Atonement. the power it  gives will change your life for the better, there's a EFY video which I have and I loved watching it, I know the things in it to be true.

Update 10/4/12!

Woah, do I have stuff to update you guys on.
The weight is going good, for a little bit it wasn't going so well, I wasn't working out often but I'm back at it and will continue til the end, my workout plan 3-5miles jogging/walking, 50 sit/push ups, 50 jumping jacks, if I don't do the jogging/walking then I'll do the P90X workout which I have talked about before, it's the "Monster of all workouts" from the program. I'll switch between the treadmill and P90X each day, to mix it up

Last week some of the guys in my branch and myself went to Camp Zarahemla for a service project  on Saturday, we left at 6pm on Friday, I got to know some of the guys better, I get to know people better in smaller groups.

Two of them have already been on they're missions, so we talked a little about missions and so on.
 There's this guy from the branch who is getting baptize this Sunday, his name is Yanino we became pretty good friends, his getting better with English I'm glad I was able to get to know him better, now whenever we see each other we talk. I'll be going to his baptism this Sunday
I might be getting a job at Target if I do, it'd be awesome!, I need as much money from my side as I can get for my mission. plus it'd be my first job will be an amazing experience
Here is a picture from Camp Zarahemla
