Yo Yo Yo, whats crackalacking fam??? Hope all is well. Well its been another great week in the MTC. Last Tuesday we had the opportunity to have our biweekly devotional and were lucky enough to have both Elder.Russel M. Neilson and Elder Jeffery R. Holland come speak to us! It was wicked.. because they have been renovation the buildings here they had to rededicate some of them. So we got to hear Elder Russel M. Neilson give a dedicatory prayer on the MTC, I don't know if any of you have heard an apostle pray but it is cool.. he was just talking to his best buddy in heaven! Last Tuesday was the 50th anniversary of the Provo MTC! It was pretty cool to be here during such a sweet event! My favorite part of every devotional is singing in the choir! Its too much fun.. they have the cameras that always zoom in on their faces and am pretty sure I'm 4 for 4 on getting some face time! So if there is anyways you get a hold of the Tuesday devotionals at the mtc check me out :p haha.
yesterday I had a sweet tender little moment... 1 year ago yesterday (February 2nd, 2011) I eh had an "accident" hehe. You all know the story.. I was hittin' up the slopes on my skis making my ski video because I was getting lined up to be sponsored by Red Bull. For my last trick I was going for it all and Pulled a triple back flip... but then I bailed half way through... landing on my left leg shattering the bone from top to bottom. hahah well I have probably told like 2,000 people this is how I broke my leg. They always believe me! haha it never gets old either! but unfortunately you all know the sad and pathetic truth.. something like "heely's" or something I don't know. its a sensitive subject haha :) . But I cant even say how grateful I was for that experience now.. I honestly learned sooooo much. Its was heart breaking not being able to do all the fun stuff at the end of Senior year.. not being able to play with my boys in my Senior Lacrosse season. But such is life.. and that little trial is nothing compared to trials that I will have later in life. So yeah, if anyone asks you what the real story was just tell them I was skiing! haha
So i have some good news and some better news!
I GOT MY TRAVEL PLANS!!! I'm officially sent and have my plane ticket to CHILE!!!! We leave February 13th!
