I Love Nauvoo!!!!




I am back from a summer I will never forget, I have learned so much about myself and the way the Lord talks to me! I can truly say " Not much I know for curtain, but this I know for sure, those people and that town have made me better then before."


I am so greatful to the Lord for his goodness. I am in true debt to Him for this constant trust and faith He had in me to do His work over the summer. There are too many experiences to share but here are a few: Phnemonea, clogging, singing all the time "Because we had to.", missionary moments at the sites etc., President's meetings, Lemonaters, Ice Cream Socials, site reading and recording, change( blocking, sickness, weather and bad memories), lifts, harmonica playing, building eternal friendships, crying(kinda) bearing testimony, puppet shows!, Shut, gardening, Nauvoo temple, spirit of those that came before, and most of all a better relationship with my Savior.

I LOVE NAUVOO!!!!!!!!!!

Getting Ready

Well I went to the temple twice today and felt a great deal of excitement to do genealogy. I also have a longing to be with someone. You know that sensation when you are in a phase in life and everything is going amazing and yet you feel empty, as if something, almost that a part of you is missing. Well that's where I am at. Every time I am doing almost anything I think of marriage, of eternal happiness and joy. The only hard part is waiting. I know that this life has ups and downs and in-betweens but the road would be a lot less painful to endure if I had someone to endure it with. AKA I'm marriage trunky. (def of marriage trunky: someone who can't wait to get married and is very set on it that it may distract them from completing the task at hand aka life.) But I will endure this monologued duet until the harmony prevails. . . OK mushy. But, alas I am hopelessly in love, with my future wife! To she who owns my heart, I bid you adieu, and adios.

On an adventure you sometimes get hurt. . .

Another few days in the live of un luchador! In life we have a lot that comes our way, in my opinion you better take it with a smile and a happy attitude! I am now 30 days till I hit the church service mission and I am excited. To put my words to poetry.
In the road of life a person can't go wrong.
Up or down or all around, each step is like a song.
You begin when your ready, you fail when you quite,
you find there are times when you just want to sit,
but sit you must not. Put you tears to good use,
and water you ambitions, set your dreams loose.
In life's journey you'll find the simple thing
is to trust in God and let truth's beauty sing.

My feelings exactly! I love life and can't wait to face it.

RM life is Dramatic

Wow, I may have just sounded like a total Drama King, and the fact that I just used the word Drama King tells you a little about me. It is part way into March and I feel more adjusted. I have only 7 words to say, it’s hard coming home from a mission. One learns and grows and changes in the mission field and at their coming home they realize all is the same here at home. You just have to apply the new you to the old world. Yo sé que la Iglesia de Jesucristo de los Santos de los Últimos Días es la iglesia verdadera. Yo amo a Dios y a su plan para nosotros, y sé vamos a vivir col nuestros muertos y vivos para la eternidad. Sais la vie.

The In-between

When a person has to major events in his life requiring him to remain without progression or change or variety, that person feels like a room with the lights off. I am currently experiencing this. I have served am mission and am headed off to serve again in Nauvoo, Illinois. I am excited and ready to serve; the major difficulty is feeling at peace with ones self. Bueno, yo estoy en una relación con alguien bien lejos de mi. Eso es difícil porque yo no puedo estar con ella y me deja aquí solo.La cosa es que todos dicen que yo debo salir con otras personas y aun no se quien ahora voy a casar. So that is my dilemma. Alas I learn how to live and love myself.

Here Goes

Well, I am making my first attempt at the new world of technology and starting a blog! I wanted to start of by saying, I love my Savior, Jesus Christ and if it weren't for him, I would not be here. I have recently returned from the California Los Angeles Mission and am preparing to once again serve the Lord in Nauvoo for the summer!
