I'm a versatile kind of guy.
Outside, it’s been rainy & cold practically all week long. Inside, it’s dry and warm. I think I’ve preferred being inside this week. This week I had the opportunity to play the Tabernacle Organ. It was an amazing feeling being wrapped in the music I was making. I again played “Called to Serve.” This week …
I’ve been on a service mission now for approximately 7 months now. I’ve wanted to serve a mission for almost all my life, but in recent years I was disqualified because of my weight. That has changed.
This week has been one of anxiety as I have gone from waiting to impatiently waiting for my call. I guess the Lord is really trying my patience right now. That’s okay, it’s a virtue I’ll need on my fulltime mission. This week at the Conference Center was amazing. I’m not really sure why it …

It’s been a great week. Today it was time for a new belt, it’s a size 42, I have no idea what that means, but it’s at least 6 inches smaller than my old belt. The other belt you bought me before my belt wasn’t that great, it’s as if it was made of cardboard …
