My First Post

Well, since Nicci and Keith, and Mom and Dad have one of these, I wanted to be cool like them and make one too. Since we are all spread around the world it will be nice to have this as a way to catch up on each other's lives, though most of the stuff that I will put on here may not have to do with my life at all, because most of it will be stuff like heegins, snippets, casket bags, and swagging sneeks.

Well, it has been about 2 months now since I have gotten back from Thailand. Things are going pretty well. Thailand was definately the best two years of my life, but they say that it only gets better after the mission. I havent experienced that yet, and miss Thailand, but Im sure I will int he future. It is nice to be back in school and learning again. Ive seen a lot of blessings from the Lord with that. It has also been GREAT getting back into shape and running track. I feel so much better now. I have also seen many blessings there too. School has been busy, but Id rather it be busy than not. I have gone on some dates, but nothing serious yet. Give me a few weeks and I'll be married. I can do it secretly too. Since everyone is gone, I can just marry someone and not tell anyone and then when mom and dad and nicci come to visit i'll introduce my new wife to them. I just cant let Todd and Jacy find out. Just kidding, I dont plan to get married for another 10 years at least.

I had a cool experience the other day. I was going to class and a lady stopped me on the way and asked if I was interested in Bible Study. I told her that I loved the Bible and was taking classes at the LDS institute. I also was running kinda late for my class, so we made the conversation quick. She said that she had this individual Bible study program and that she was a missionary for the Presbyterian church, but if I already read the Bible that that is good enough. She said bye quickly and walked off. As I continued walking to class, my missionary mind slapped in the face and I realized that i had a perfect chance to give that lady a pass along card. I looked back and she was around the corner and long gone, so I kept walking to my class. After another 50 yds I decided that it would be more important to give this lady card than to get to class on time, so I turned around and started speed walking. After turning some corners and praying in my heart to find her, I couldnt see her anywhere and decided that I better get to class. I started walking a different route to my class and as I passed the bookstore I turned left and saw her! I ran up and introduced myslef and gave her a card about Finding Faith in Christ. I told her it was an awesome movie and that she could call if she wanted a free copy and then rushed off to class. I dont know if she will ever call, but I definately felt a lot better about it. I hope that I can share the gospel more.

Well, I cant finish a post this long without saying something weird. So here you go:
Geefs always snatch up the hilly teegins when we swiff plastic sacks onto wooden fences. Flags.
