Update-- 4/5/13

Well... I haven't been blogging for awhile hah sorry yet again.

Last Wednesday I got my wisdom teeth remove (all 4 of them) the pain is gone, so it's all good.
I hope to get my papers in soon... (geez, how long have I been saying that?) but I'll be starting on the papers once I lose 10 more pounds, then once I lose 20-25 more  pounds then I'll  send my papers in. If I start within 10 pounds from now then I'll  do all the paper work I can do then just leave some small parts when I get to 20-25 pounds lost.
Like getting an interview with my stake president, taking a picture to send in with the papers etc.

A friend of mine from the single branch will be coming over once or twice a week to work out. lifting  weights or go hike badger mountain, we have already worked out once but then I had my wisdom teeth taken out and this weekend is General Conference so we're waiting for next week. I'll be working out on the other days

Last night (Thursday) there was a branch dinner at the union building (the stake center) it's about 2 miles and a half away from where I live, so I though I would go for a walk/jog it was nice and sunny when I left the house. Half way there it started to rain and rain some more, my shirt was soaking wet.
It was pretty funny I though hah

I'm really excited for General Conference, I love listening to the talks. I get counsel and guidance
If you go to Conference with a question.. it will be answered. during the last General Conference I had a question and it was answered.

Endure to the end, stay strong in the Gospel and you won't regret it

Update 2/20/13

oh wow, it's the 20th of February already?, time is going by fast and April is getting closer.

I got to admit last week wasn't a good week... I only worked out a couple of times and weight went up as well. but this week I been working out and lost 2lbs already. I been watching videos of people opening they're mission calls, I can't wait until it's my turn!.

I been trying to figure out where I'll be going on my mission but I still have no clue hah, anywhere God needs me I'll go. by April I should lose 70lbs in total which is pretty amazing. I'll look even more different by then.

I been enjoying my mission prep classes and the YSA branch.. I should be studying the  scriptures more, I haven't read any for a couple of days and I really should.... so I'll do it today :)

Still trying to find a job, I applied at Taco Bell and Carl Jr, even though I didn't really want to work fast foods.. I need a job, I need the money so I'll take it. no luck so far I tired calling to check up and got nothing. Hopefully I'll get one of the jobs they are hiring so you would think I would already gotten it.

Here is a Mormon message youth video, I love them even though I'm not a "youth" anymore but I think they're just amazing. this one is about the Atonement

Ordain an Elder

This past Sunday I was ordain to the Melchizedek Priesthood.
one big step towards my mission, which I plan on having my papers in by April :) I am so excited for what 2013 will bring, I know that this is the year that I'll leave for my mission I wanted to of left back in 2012 as a lot of my friends were leaving.

I have been worrying about leaving late, I'll be leaving when I'm 20 (weird to think I'll be 20 in May) but couple days ago I  was reading my Patriarchal blessing and it said, at the appropriate time I'll be called to fulfill a mission.

At the appropriate time.. that really stood out to me, I am glad I read my blessing because leaving "late" has been on my mind but it doesn't matter when I leave, the only thing that matter is I'm still going

I know that Heavenly Father is watching out for me, and for everyone else, I'm thankful for my Savior and for the Atonement which was made possible by Him.

99 days

There are 99 days until May... I got like 47 pounds until I'm at 250, at 250 I'll be starting on my papers I know I'll be able to lose 47 pounds before May, it will be really hard to get there but it'd be so worth it.
One day at a time, just need to keep that in mind.... a day at a time.
I'm still looking for a job, places where I had applied were hiring but didn't hire me I want to get as much money as I can to help out for my mission
during the holidays I got lazy and didn't do much working out, then I was sick last week. so starting today is the time to go... 99days :)

99days to lose 47, heck I think I'll be able to lose a bit more before May which would be awesome, right as I get close to 250 (couple pounds away) I'll start on my mission papers!!!

I'm so excited for this year, I'm getting the Melchizedek Priesthood this Sunday need to keep in mind what is ahead for me.. need to study more a lot more then what I have been doing which wasn't much.

man, I can't wait to know where I'll be going and WHEN! :D
Here is an amazing video from Mormon Messages

Mission in mind

My goal of going on a mission is still there, it have never left.. I plan on leaving before May or during May
Yes my 20th birthday is May 31st, did I wanted to leave this late?, of course not but at least I'm going, that is something I have figured out.. it would of been nice to of leave in the summer of 2012 with a lot of my friends leaving around the same time.

But I'm still going so that counts for it all, I have a friend that is leaving for his mission soon, two weeks before his 20th birthday. his so excited and happy to go, and same for him.. he would of liked to of left early but hey, the mission will still be the same and so it will be for me :)

I have a lot of friends who have been called to foreign speaking missions, such as Italy, Thailand. Brazil,   and one in Ukraine.
I would love to go foreign speaking, I think I might be called to go foreign... that may just be my own feeling though.

When I was thinking of where I'll be called to serve I remember this talk couple years ago during the Priesthood session  of General Conference April 2010
The Divine Call of a Mission
Watch or read the talk, it is simply amazing

 I know that wherever I go, foreign speaking or state side. It is because Heavenly Father has it all planned out for me, he knows which mission will best be for me.
Another great talk that I love is this one The Opportunity of a lifetime

I got a couple of friends on the internet that I'm close with and I have talked to them about leaving to go on  a mission soon a lot of them think it's really cool that I'll be doing this and I have talked to a couple of them about my church and what we believe in.
They can't wait to hear where I'll be going either!, haha a couple of them keep on asking me if I have started on my papers and when I'm leaving, they ask how the weight is going as well.
I have told them of places my friends are serving and where my friends have been called to serve.
I can't wait to tell them where I'll be going and when!.

Endure to the end, stay strong in the Gospel and you won't regret it! :)

A Merry Christmas to you :)

Merry Christmas everyone

I wish you all a merry Christmas, I hope that during this time you will remember about the birth of our Savior,  without him we wouldn't be able to have the Atonement and be able to live with our Heavenly Father one day, he paid the price for our sins

This is my last Christmas with my family for two years, it will be a good time with the family. I'm excited for what 2013 will bring, for  my mission
I watched this video which is pretty amazing, the song is Mary did you know

This short movie is called "Mission Christmas" it's really awesome I have watched it two times, hope you guys enjoy it too :)
