Its Christmas day, the celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ.  It is a joyous day for me, because i am reminded of the glorious gift God gave us.   Because of Gods gift, i know who to follow if i want to be happy, i know how to not feel lonely, i know how to not suffer, i have scriptures to read so that i know how how to proceed through this life and to be comforted, and most importantly, i can repent and become clean from any sins.  God made a great sacrifice to give us this gift.  I will not take it for granted and try my hardest to remember this.

This is part of a talk by Hugh B. Brown entitled "Why Religions Education"

This Is Snowboarding 2

Snowboard season is here is Utah. While everyone else in Utah is dreading the cold and snow, I'm super excited!  Me and Philip had our real first season last winter and learned quickly to dominate the slopes.  There is no better feeling than have total control over a huge mountain full of white, powdery snow.  Here is my favorite snowboarding video that i found after looking through tons of videos on u tube.  Over the summer, me and and my best friend, Brandon, took up skateboarding just to get good at snowboarding (we pretty much dominated the skate park too).  I  will later show clips of me at the skate park.

I'm still listening to general conference on my i pod while i go running, but here is a preview of one of my favorite talks from priesthood session.  I was able to go to the Marriott center and listen there, its defiantly worth it to go to building where there are no distractions and you can just listen.

Havasupai ( the poeple of the blue green waters)

This is a cave i found. It goes down three floors.  It would have been really scary if our lights went out.  We would have been lost in a huge maze.

The mist from the waterfalls were super refreshing because it was so hot. 

I got really tan on the trip because we just hiked everywhere in our swimsuits

This is the Havasupai fall.  Its the first one you see coming into the campsite. There were tons of people from all over the world.

These are our church clothes

The church building with two active members.  It was testimony meeting and it was really neat to hear the native guy's testimony.

This is falling rock falls.

This us making our way to beaver falls.

This is me standing under mooney falls.
