One More Time!

I have to make up for all of the lost blog posts that never happened!! haha and by the way, the world is a crazy place. News Flash!

This week was good. Caught up on a few movies and did school. Went on a few more dates!! Haha for those of you that dont know the story the former Elder Richardson and I had a deal where we would go on one date every week when we got to school and then contact one girl a day.

So far I am doing pretty good! haha in the 4 weeks that I have been home, I have gone on 8 dates! Haven't always contacted girls everyday though. They seem to find me! haha :D. I guess I am just so fly that it happens ;) And yes i am keeping count so then one day i can say to my wife "it took me 128 dates to find out that they were nothing compared to being with you!" haha or something cheesy like that. I guess girls kinda like that stuff. Or maybe they just pretend that they like it and really they just think we are goobers. Either way we dont really know for sure!

This week also i was talking to my Joshua and just learning some things. I have realized that the MTC prepares you as much for a mission as a mission prepares you for life! Sadly not that much haha. BUT what we realized also is that there is a perspective change that happens to you on the mission. The way i see the world and the things that i used to do has really changed! A lot of it is like "Why did i used to do that?!?" or "Thats pretty stupid" or "WOW thats a low price!" haha

The point is that the harder you work on the mission, the more the Lord will prepare you for life. He will give you that perspective change. Just as the MTC puts you in the mindset to be a missionary, the mission puts you in the mindset to be a great Dad or Mom or Relief Society President or Stake President or if you are John an
Apostle! A mission changes the way that you do things. But it doesnt really tell you what lies ahead. What we have to do is rely on God and we know that everything will work out.

So i dont know if I told yall the classes i am taking or not, but I am just taking the ones that i could get into for the Fall Block which wasnt a lot of options. I am taking a wonderful religion class called
Teachings of the Living Prophets and learning sooooooo much from it! Wow. That class blows my mind!!!

I am also taking a class called Library Research Skills, and then like and English class with a tutor.

Other than that life is going great! The temple is so awesome! I go every week. The Rexburg temple is so pretty!


Have a great week!


Love yall!
