I love when I am expecting the worst and all of the sudden things aren't as bad as I expected!
At times life can be super awesome!

Milagros!
Well, a few things!
1st: I had an amazing Fireside tonight! We learned about prayer, and I am sure that I have asked the Lord in the past to help me do something (do well on a test . . . or an audition.) without laying out to him my plan as to how I will prepare myself and then asking that he will help me with that plan!
2nd: Hugh Jared Sittig (a neighbor of mine) saved my evening and a lot of stress. I had accidentally deleted my Family History assignment and couldn't find it anywhere, I told my parents and my dad mentioned Hugh might be able to help me! So I called and he did and I am so thankful!
3rd: God loves me! For the Stupid I am, He loves me. Esta es un Milagro!

Choral Ed. Program
Wow, BYU sure knows how to make anyone applying for their programs that they probably wont make it. It is funny; at first, I felt completely inadequate, but I have had to turn inward and realize my personal strengths and how blessed I am. This is really all that matters. I would be blessed to make the program, but similarly blessed to not. I am so lucky to have the many experiences I do have and to be where I am in life, therefore, I am considering myself blessed.
Thanks be to God!

GROWING UP
Well, I am at a crossroads in my life. I am slowly escaping my childhood and slowly entering my life of adulthood. It is an arduous process yet necessary. Though I may be at a "University" studying "grown-up" things, I would still consider myself a child at heart. I reminisce on the foibles of youth and the glorious "teen years" ... well they were interesting.
It is truly sad to let go of a part of me that molds who I am today. Lucky for me I don't have too. All that is required of us is to 'look forward with an eye of faith' knowing that God will provide. I know this is true. I also know that the Lord doesn't want me to forget my past, but to remember it, both the good and the bad. I know I made mistakes, but as Ether, I know that they will only make me stronger and better in the future. I owe my prosperity and success, to the Lord. . . all of it. He is the one who gives me confidence when I am lacking, faith when I can't see in front of my nose and hope when the storm seems never-ending.
I love the future... yes, it has fears... yes it is unknown... but, it is mine. That is what is exciting! I am my instrument through which God can mold to play the tune of eternity. I am the brush through which He will paint the glorious exaltation.well--that may sound a bit preachy, but I know God will use us to build his kingdom(Zion). I am honored to be a part of that!

school. . .
Well it is now or never! I am back to school and it is . . . difficult yet challenging yet, well its rough. I love being at the Y and being blessed with the gospel in my life. I know that the church is true! I love life and that is what is important! I love life and will need the Lords help to do the rest.
Sincerely MR. Hard work!

Life, Texas and the stresses of 22
Well, It has been a while. Let's see? Christmas in Texas was a fun endeavor and a great experience. I am learning my way around that great state and into the life on another family! I had a good time with the Worthen's and Durkovich's. My time in Texas mainly consisted of, meeting family, playing rockband, taking engagement pictures, playing rockband, getting the flu, singing in Emily's ward with the Worthen's, playing rockband, beating rockband, being in love and loving it, playing rockband 2, going to the temple, getting lost on the way, driving to frisco, White Christmas in Texas, gifts, rockband 2 playing and family bonding! I sure felt at home there, that's a good thing!
One thing that I really appreciated was how I was just part of the family. Oh, I also had a birthday in Texas, but that is worthy of another color. and paragraph,
So 22, the age of a man, officially. I will accomplish a lot this year. Starting education towards a future career, Have a Temple Marriage, Live away from home and work to support my self and Shani. But this may all sound big and overwhelming, I am going to look at the bright side: I am going to grow spiritually this year! SO MUCH. I have a lot to learn and a lot to gain but it will be awesome. Basically I want to say how grateful I am that God has so much love for me, even when I am weak and make mistakes. He always seems to look at the good in me and make me feel like I can do anything! What joy feels my heart when I thing of the Love He has for me. I am in awe.
I stand all amazed at the love Jesus offers me. Well, I am to embark on an epic year of big decisions. BYU will be a great experience and at the same time a little nerve racking! We shall see how I feel about that in a few weeks ~~~ I am ready for what life has to throw at me, I will just take things one day at a time.
