A bit of catching up

Okay, I realize I haven't been on this blog in...3 years?  Yes, more than 3 years.  I would try to catch up with ya'll but I fear that would take way too much time.  Suffice it to say I've had a busy 3 years.  The best part about it was...oh dear...considering my last post I should at least tell you a little bit of the story.  Okay people, prepare for the nutshell version!  Unless most of you know the story then just skip to the interesting stuff.

It actually started in October of that year of 2010.  I was really trying to decide what to do with my life and it really was quite difficult.  I had two friends on missions and I felt like I was floating through life with no purpose.  I decided to fast on it and ask the Lord what He wanted me to do.  So, on November 7, 2010 I fasted and asked the Lord what He would have me do.  To make it short the answer I got was a strong feeling that I needed to serve a mission.  That next semester I moved home and started my preparations to go on my mission.  It wasn't easy but finally on March 25, 2011 I got my call to serve in the Chile Concepción South Mission.  To put a year and a half in one sentence I had the best time of my life.  It was full of life changing events and I met and grew close to the best people I have ever known.

I came home a little over a year ago.  It was tough coming home but it was good for me.  The Lord was merciful and helped me find work soon after I returned and helped me be successful.  Right now, a year later, I'm at BYU-Idaho and I'm loving it.  It's quite cold here but it's an incredible place to be.  I still have my challenges and struggles, but who doesn't?

I'm excited to start blogging again.  I honestly had a hard time getting going on it again because I don't know who would be interested to listen to my words of wisdom or about my inspiring life, but maybe there is someone out there who will be.  For that one person I commend you!  Buckle up folks!  This may turn out to be quite a ride, but it will be worth it!  From here on out, enjoy!  Thanks for reading :)
