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!!
