Well, guess what? Thanksgiving leftovers are almost gone, and there are 3 MORE WEEKS OF SCHOOL!! Until Christmas Break and then I get to go home and surf! Yeah! I guess I should back up a little since I haven't written in a few months.
Summer went really well! I ended up with A-'s in both classes, which wasn't too bad. Life caught up at the end of the semester with check-outs and finals, but I got through it. Yeah! Fall started off pretty well, and has gone well ever since. I am taking Accounting 200 (basic accounting), Econ 110 (basic economics), Stats 121 (basic stats) [ENOUGH BASICS!! :P], New Testament 2, I SYS 100/102, and a RA class. Not too bad and it's only 14 credits. I definitely haven't had to stress out too much in any of my classes. Well, maybe except for Econ. But that's Econ. Haha. I made some really good friends during summer and so far into fall! It's been pretty awesome. The dating scene has been on and off, but I'm not too worried about it. I'm only 21, and there is definitely no rush to get married! None at all.
Well, that's the past couple of months in a nutshell. It's weird to see that so much time can be condensed into a summary that short. Obviously there are more details, but I don't feel like reliving them in order to put them up on the blog. I'd rather keep it to my journal and start from here. Much less time consuming, don't ya think? Anyway, I'll be on this a lot more! Definitely more when I go home for Christmas break to good ol' SoCal and surf the days away with my family. That is, if I can remember how to get up on a surf board!

June 22nd - the day after the longest day of the year
Actions, beliefs, morals can transform clay into one of two things: a masterpiece or a twisted mess. Choose - for the Artist waits.
I didn't know how to start so that's a quote I found looking through old e-mails. It's amazing to see how fast technology has changed! Only a few short years ago, e-mail was the primary mode of communication for long distances. I made a lot of good friends that way. Now, at the shortest 4 years later, e-mail is old and antique. It's so crazy how life moves, evolves and changes. Sometimes I wish life would go back to a simpler time and happier days. Even for all of the modern technology, gadgets and advancements, more and more people seem unhappy with who they are, what they do, or what is happening around us. Maybe it's because I am getting older and I am realizing some of this stuff for myself. New perspective maybe? I don't know. But the goal is to put a smile on and find a way to help other people find the positives in life.
Life is quite interesting at the moment. I started working as a Resident Assistant at Heritage Halls (BYU Freshman Dorms) and I am absolutely loving it! The new freshman are awesome and super funny. Summer term is going to be a blast with them. My classes are going fairly well, surprisingly enough. I am taking M COM 320, which is a business writing class, and Math 118, a business applied math class. As long as I keep working hard, hopefully I will learn several concepts and practices that will help me get into the Accounting Program. I feel a little behind in the M COM class because I am the youngest guy there, and many of the others are Juniors and Seniors who are ready to graduate. That just means I'll have to work harder! :) That I can do!
I talked on the phone today with my favorite companion from my mission - Ryan Griffin. He arrived home today!! I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!!! WHOA!!!! Time has flown by so quickly! Literally it felt like it was yesterday that I was half a world away sitting next to him in a stake conference listening to President Karra in Ciudad del Este. I can almost feel the heat of that warm summer day. The confused feelings I had. One part of me glad that I was going to be able to come home. Another part broken for the people I was going to leave behind. The culture. The unique and special chance I had as a representative of the Savior to help others come unto Christ and be healed through His Atonement. I still miss my days in Paraguay, but I've learned so much from being home almost 6 months now. I've grown in ways that I don't think it was possible, and other things I know that I still need to work on. Anyway, back to the topic sentence. I am super excited that Ryan is home and that we might get to catch up next week. He's one awesome guy! That's my update for now.
Chaucito!!

Insight Paper
For this post, I'm going to put up an insight paper I wrote for my Book of Mormon class. It has to deal with something that's been on my mind quite heavily for the past while and it felt good to finally figure something out.
This week for me has been filled with a lot of personal reflection about my personal goals and perspective. General conference had a huge impact on me and I absolutely loved the messages that were given. I especially appreciated all of President Uchtdorf’s messages, Elder Bednar’s message and President Eyring’s message in the Saturday afternoon session of conference. All of these messages consistently made me think of who I am, where I am, and where do I want to be going with my life. Somehow, my reflections were all centered on finding an eternal companion. Although I have been home for only a short time, these thoughts seem to be a priority along with succeeding with my education and work. For a while, as I dated, I looked at the young women as potential eternal companions, but not considering the stages in between of developing a relationship.
In the book of Moroni, it really stood out to me how he focused on the basics of the doctrines and taught from there. I guess it helped me to realize that everything needs to be done in order. Moroni taught about the basics of church administration, about nourishing members in the church, about repentance, faith, hope, and charity. In all of this he weaved in the doctrine of Christ. It helped me realize that things happen in stages, not just a jump from point “a” to point “b.” I looked at serving a mission in the same way before I left. In my mind, I was concerned with what I did before my mission and what happened after my mission, but I never once took a chance to think about what the mission might consist of. Not once. I wasn’t thinking about events in stages. Just “event 1” to “event 2” and so on. Now, as I read through Moroni and listened to General Conference, there’s more to life than just events. There is a progression. I really like Moroni’s counsel to lay hold upon every good gift. He didn’t say just “the” good gifts, which I might have interpreted as earning “Duty to God,” go to college, serve a mission, get married, get a job, have children, and events like that in my life. I need to learn to progress, take advantage of all of the opportunities I have in my life to become like Christ. I shouldn’t just move towards “landmark” events in my life, but I should focus on making the most of what the Lord is giving to me in my life. As such, in relation to finding an eternal companion, I need to work my way to that point in my life. I need to make friends, enjoy myself, get to know people, and to develop relationships so that I could reach the potential of considering a young lady to be an eternal companion. It doesn’t mean that I should ignore and not focus on moving forward towards such landmarks in my life, but I need to focus on the small and simple things. I believe that if I can focus on the small and simple things in my life, events such as marriage and success in school, or whatever it may be, will come and I will be ready to handle the situation.
With that said, I think the phrase "poco a poco" suffices. I have it as the banner on my phone to help me remember that everything has its place and there's no need to rush or jump steps. Take it easy, take it easy. Don't let the sound of your own wheels drive you crazy! Lyrics from the Eagles. Quite random, but quite appropriate.
From General Conference, President Thomas S. Monson said this: "[W]e have been provided divine attributes to guide our journey. We enter mortality not to float with the moving currents of life but with the power to think, to reason, and to achieve."
President Dieter F. Uchtdorf from October of 2010. "Therefore, it is good advice to slow down a little, steady the course, and focus on the essentials when experiencing adverse conditions." Or even when there aren't adverse conditions.
"The wise understand and apply the lessons of tree rings and air turbulence. They resist the temptation to get caught up in the frantic rush of everyday life. They follow the advice 'There is more to life than increasing its speed.' In short, they focus on the things that matter most."
"As we turn to our Heavenly Father and seek His wisdom regarding the things that matter most, we learn over and over again the importance of four key relationships: with our God, with our families, with our fellowman, and with ourselves. As we evaluate our own lives with a willing mind, we will see where we have drifted from the more excellent way. The eyes of our understanding will be opened, and we will recognize what needs to be done to purify our heart and refocus our life."
(These are all from the same discourse.)
And I think he's right. It's time to slow down, look to the basics, the fundamentals. It's a wonderful opportunity to do this! Today is Easter Sunday, the day where we celebrate the Lord's resurrection. What a special day! The Savior broke the bands of death, and He gives us the gift of resurrection also. If not for this, life would be in vain. Jacob, the brother of Nephi, put it like this.
"O the wisdom of God, his mercy and grace! For behold, if the flesh should rise no more our spirits must become subject to that angel who fell from before the presence of the Eternal God, and became the devil, to rise no more.
And our spirits must have become like unto him, and we become devils, angels to a devil, to be shut out from the presence of our God, and to remain with the father of lies, in misery, like unto himself; yea, to that being who beguiled our first parents, who transformeth himself nigh unto an angel of light, and stirreth up the children of men unto secret combinations of murder and all manner of secret works of darkness."
I am forever grateful to Jesus Christ, the Messiah, the Holy One of Israel. He not only paid the price for my sins, but he extends mercy and grace unto me so that I can repent and come unto Him. Through Him, I can be perfected in all things, and one day live with Him and my Heavenly Father. Take the chance to think and remember the tender mercies of the Lord in your life.
"He is risen, He is risen, tell it out with joyful noise!"

Love Long Lost
It's when you smile
That my heart turns for a while
When I look into your eyes
The worry I once had simply dies
When it's your voice I hear
It makes me want to be near
Sometimes I wonder why
if it's into my heart you spy
Sometimes I wonder if that spark
Will ever hit its mark
Sometimes I wonder if by now
Into your heart I should've found a way how
Maybe someday I'll catch your eye
Then it won't be just goodbye
Your beauty is a charm -
Your spirit so warm
Whenever you walk by
I'll be lost in your sea-blue eyes.
After I wrote this, I realized something - unrequited love ain't worth half of having the chance of someone else! Here goes nothing!

Time just keeps "March"ing along
Well, what's new? Work? School? Social life? Sure!
I am officially a Resident Assistant at Heritage Halls here at BYU starting up Fall of 2012. Which probably means (98%) I won't be a RA for Spring/Summer. Drat. But that does mean I get to home and enjoy SOCAL! Yeah! That will be pretty sweet! The hardest part about that will be finding a job and not being bored. Maybe. Maybe after I talk to the HH Supervisor, I might find out that I can be a RA for Summer. Which I would be good with. I get to take GE classes that I need to, not lose out on social life with peeps who are staying here over Spring/Summer, and stay busy. Plus I've heard it's quite a blast staying here for Summer semester. So we'll see there. Regardless, I am excited to go home and spend time with the parents. Maybe catch up with old HS buddies if I get the chance. And enjoy the BEACH! So excited for that! Yeah!
Classes are going great! American Heritage isn't proving to be the beast I imagined it to be. Very luckily. If I pay attention and try to apply what we are learning, it actually helps me realize quite a few political and social quirks. Biology is definitely helping me to spark my "wonder" as Dr. Riley would put it. I don't know how he does it, but somehow nature is becoming very interesting. There are lots of little stuff that does seem to stick out now. Especially now that I know the wood in Yew cures Leukemia but as a whole it is very poisonous. I love my Book of Mormon class - I get to ask questions I've had and get answers! It's awesome to feel the Spirit in there. Calculus is coming along - very heavy work laden, but it is making much more sense the second time around. Even with 2 years in between. Spanish is helping to keep up my Spanish. I definitely appreciate that! Overall, I hope to get A's this semester. I would be very extremely happy with all A's, which is very possible, I just gotta buckle down and do it! Si se puede!
Devotionals and forums here are AMAZING. No other way to put it. We had an amazing Forum by Dr. Benjamin Carson which really opened my eyes about many aspects of American life and current day political situations. Which helps out a lot since I've been out of the loop for two years! :) Today we had a very touching devotional by one of the Athletic Directors, Brother Dallin H. Moody who shared with us some of his personal experiences with a physically and mentally handicapped son. The Spirit was definitely strong there. Super strong! I love being at the "Lord's University!"
Social life! Coming along!! It's a little disappointing to think that this semester is going to end in a month and a half, and many of the developing friendships I have might just go "ka-boom." Which I will work towards not happening. I am still meeting amazing people and I am starting to settle down with getting to know better the people I've met instead of constantly meeting new people. The dating scene is a lot of fun. Let's just keep it like that. However, I will share what a fellow student shared in my Book of Mormon class. "When Christ teaches that our communication should be 'Yea, yea' or 'Nay, nay' it should also apply to communication with the opposite sex." I wholeheartedly agree!! It would make life so much easier! But then where the fun be? :) I did get to catch up with an old friend from SoCal who came down from BYU-I this past weekend. It was great to see an old friend again!
All in all, life is great! There is no reason to complain. None whatsoever! Time to get life moving along!! Jaha! Vamos pues! Let's GO!! Woo hoo!

Swinging back into action!
I can't believe that it has been almost a month and a half since I've been home from South America. Those two years mean everything to me and I won't do it justice if I try to describe it now in a short space. For a weekly view, my parents made a separate blog for that. Try Elder David Watson from my profile. Or something like that. Technology is different. Still getting used to it. Regardless, I consider my time spent in the service of my God as the best two years for my life. I learned so much about who I am, who my Savior is, and who I need to be to better serve my fellow men. I'll leave it at that for now. :)
Life at BYU has been pretty good! I am starkly surprised about easy it has been to come back to school and study right away. I was only home for 4 days, and saw my parents for less than a week, but yet even from the get go, I've been doing much better than I expected. It's definitely a miracle in my books. No doubt about it. I had often heard that RM's are quite awkward around the girls they meet after being home for a short time. Probably true in my case, but any contradictions or supporting views would have to come from someone else. Hehehe. I haven't felt that way, so SWEET! I've been getting to know quite a few people, and they are all amazing in their own right. I don't think I've been on a bad date yet. Which makes me think it is what you make of it. It is amazing though to have the perspective of having talked to thousands of people as a missionary and coming back and having that ability to see how people are. Mind you, it's not a perfect ability, but it is something that I can see, after talking to people and getting to know them a bit, of where their goals are placed. And how they plan on getting there. Having that said, I've been blown out of my mind about how awesome some of the people I've met are. It's definitely a blessing to have met these people and be their friends. Of course there are people of every type, but it all depends on my perspective. If I want to get mad, offended, or frustrated, it's my choice. I can choose to let someone get to me, or just let it go and forget about it. Which I think is the best choice. :D
Well, I best be off. I think I will start getting better about this. It's much faster to type than write. But I will definitely keep writing in my journal. Well, so long! Adios! Hasta el proximo!
Chau!
