What to write about...

This Saturday I watched the movie 9, the Tim Burton movie about 9 dolls representing a scientist's soul are the last hopes for all of humanity. The movie was creative, but wack!!! Robots controlling the earth and sucking the soul out of people... it made me greatful to know the gospel and know the truth behind everything (well mostly everything). I'm not sure what else to write in here so I'll just mention some random stuff I did this week. I must say in here I have a kick-butt group for the Case Analysis. Anywho... can't wait for the weekend... Thanksgiving break in San Diego!!! Gonna be a good time with the sister. Oh! My good buddy Spencer is coming into town Tuesday and reporting to the MTC on Tuesday. Get to spend a day with him before he reports! Makes me more exited for my mission, can't wait!

Family

I was able to see my sisters this past weekend in Idaho and it was amazing! How amazing is family.... We get to spend time and eternity with our family. Of course there are those days when you wish you had a new family... but really.. I wouldn't trade mine for anything. I get to see my brother next weekend then my family back in Minnesota in a little over a month. It's amazing how much I miss my family. Back in High School I butted heads with everyone in my family and couldn't wait to be free from my tyrannical mother. Now, I talk to her at least 3 times a week and usually I am the one who ends up calling her! My family has been the greatest blessing in my life.. I hope I can repay them for all the help they have each given me in my life.

Pondering.....

So I've had a thought on my mind all week... Going to BYU has increased my spiritual growth more than I thought possible. I also grew physically beyond what I could imagine... (at least I did my freshman year). Unfortunately I have lost ambition in both of those areas in my life to grow. How do I gain ambition?!?!?! Last year was one of the best years spiritually and physically I have had and I don't know what is different about this year that diminished my enthusiasm for growing in both of those areas... Could it just be a trail? or am I just flat out lazy? It's been bugging me and I need to find a way to get that ambition... I know the physical aspect isn't as important, but it would be nice to have that back in my life again... if any of you suggest anything please feel free!
