Hey Guys,
Happy Fall Season! These last two weeks have been exciting and maybe you can use the word stressful. My roommate, Mike, went and bought twelve movies for forty-eight dollars. So we have been watching movies. We also had some midterms and I got 86% on my Economics test which made me really happy. I got a 100% on my chemistry test. I probably got something like 90% on my New Testament test also. With midterms over, I have been able to get a jump start on the next sections that we will be coving.
Today was pretty crazy. My schedule:
7am – Stake President Meeting with Elders Presidents
9am – Choir – Quartet Practice
10am – Presidency Meeting
11am – Ward Council Meeting
12 noon – Sacrament Meeting – I spoke during the services
3pm – Special Meeting
4:45pm – Stake Leadership Training Workshops
6:30pm – Dinner invitation to girls apartment #13
7:30pm – Ward Prayer
8pm – Michelle’s mini farewell party
Tonight has not ended yet, but it has been a very fun, productive and exciting day for me. A small group of guys got together and we sang in church today which was really fun, plus the music was fantastic.
Some other highlights from the week include:
I got to talk with Mrs. Lisa Wilson who was my ninth grade English teacher who has been such an inspiration for me. She was one of the coolest instructors I have ever had. She sends her love to our little groups of students who had her freshman year of high school and I propose that we go and visit her during Christmas break.
Saturday, I watched part of the Florida vs. Auburn game and that was some great football.
The pressures of society forced me to explore the FaceBook.com website and I gave in and subscribed. It is actually a pretty cool website.
My roommates are fantastic scholars and gentlemen! We have been having too much fun. Mike and I went hot tubing the other night and we have made some interesting trips to places like Costco and to a random Mexican restaurant.
Some Pictures:
Cool Girls – These girls invited me over to dinner tonight and made some very delicious food like chicken, dinner rolls (homemade) and some great brownies. We played some games and then took this picture at Ward Prayer.
Costco Trip – We went to Costco to make some purchases and had a fun time taking pictures of random people and shopping on a busy Saturday.
Fall Time – Pretty Mountains.
Heading to Work – This is me right before leaving for work. They have changed the dress code for my office. NO more ties and No more dress pants. I have to wear a collared shirt and… Drum roll please…jeans are now okay!
Home Baked Pizza – I went to Yasmin’s apartment they fed me some food and I wanted more, so they gave me a frozen pizza which I took home and devoured.
More Fall Time – The same mountains but later in the afternoon on the same day.
My Roommates – I love these guys. We were at a Family Home Evening when this picture was taken. From left to right: Jaime, myself (wearing a way nice ITALIAN white tie), Bryce and Mike.
My Studying Desk – This was my desk for a few nights as I studied for midterms. Yes Mom and Dad, I do study. Actually, my studying actually is paying off with some decent grades this time too!
So everything is pretty much going great! There are millions of little things I would love to share that contribute to this enjoyable semester. Have fun with all that is going on and hope to catch you all later.
