Life is not the amount of breaths you take, it's the moments that take your breath away.

     Well it has been an extremely long time since I have last updated my blog. I'm really sorry to those that look at it on a regular basis checking for updates.  Hopefully I will start getting better, but it all depends on how the week was. The last couple of weeks have been really hard for me. A ton of midterms and I also have had second thoughts on my major and I just can't wait for the semester to be over. 

   Next semester is going to be so much fun. I'm taking the second half of The Book of Mormon, Missionary Prepartion, Spanish 101, Public Speaking, and American Gov't and Politics. It's is going to be so much fun. Mostly because its a new beginning and I feel like I'm starting to get used to the whole college deal. 

     Oh for those of you who didn't think that shaving my head wasn't a good idea. Fear not I'm in the process of growing it back. It should be to normal length by the time I come home for Christmas. So you don't need to see a naked mole rat in person. And you can thank Phillip for that name. He called me that one time when I was talking to him about shaving my head.

     Well its time for my "mission" update. The other day I was in a Desert Bookstore, and I was in the missionary section where they have all the missionary books and journals and such and I felt the spirit SO strong. I'm so ready to just get out there and preach the gospel. 

The only reason people get lost in thought is because it's unfamiliar territory.

     I realize that its been a long time since I last wrote. Many a things have happened since, the most significant being I am now a proud owner of a shaved head. It came about in Las Vegas last weekend. Don't worry I'm still worthy to attend the temple.  I have been able to strengthen friendships. This has come about while playing ultimate Frisbee, sitting on the couch in the neutral zone, and creating a grateful wall with some of girls that I home teach. 

   Oh also Friday was Halloween which is kinda a big deal at BYU. Everyone dresses up, well the

 cool people do. So I dressed up since I'm a cool person. And with being bald I could come up with some creative costumes so after much consideration I decided to dress up as a member of the Blue Man Group.  It was pretty much a hit.    

                                                                                                

                                                                                        

     As far as schooling goes. Most of my classes are going pretty good, I sign up for winter semester on the 7th of November. Which is in a couple of days. Its amazing how fast things go by here at college. It seems like yesterday I was trying to find Room 1105 in the JKB. This also means that I'm this much closer to serving my mission.  

     My availability date for entering the MTC is in only 6 months which will seem like tomorrow. I'm so very excited for that date when I hug my mom for the last time for 2 years. Not that I don't like hugging you mom, but I know that I will be doing what you and dad and more importantly Heavenly Father wants me to do. I hope you understand. As I think about it more and more it has been brought to my attention through the Holy Ghost that someone is out there preparing a specific individual at this very moment for me to baptize.
