It's interesting how technology has changed and is an ever changing process in our lives. I say that because as I write I'm in the car on my way to the temple on a very awesome device that they call these days a "smart phone." That is just what it is! This thing is very smart and has all types of gadgets and every time I check my e-mail or do something like a blog post I feel like I'm in the future. I also feel that I'm on a new level of sophistication and those things that I could only do on a laptop computer or desktop I can now do with a simple device in the palm of my hand. Though I am not a big shot business man yet I do feel like I'm in their world for a moment and I enjoy it. Though this is not the reason of this post, I just thought I would share that little piece of information.
As I came over the bridge or causeway this morning to get off the island, the water in the Indian river was as calm and smooth and almost like glass, which does not happen very often but when it does, creates a beautiful image that is for me, engraved in my mind forever. It is in these moments in my life that make me reflect on my life and remember how Heavenly Father does indeed, have his hand in it. There is no way that the beautiful images of nature were created by chance. For a large amount of people it is hard for them to believe in God and to them I say- if only you had just a little faith... If not even a desire to believe... And then let that desire work in your heart...que pasen un día muy feliz!

More for me than it is for you.....
Well this is my first blog post ever in my life.... Not sure the reason behind me doing this but I'm sure I will get more out of it than any reader that reads my small spot of cyberspace. I have come to the conclusion that life is whatever you want to make of it. Being home for three weeks, off of a 2 year mission I have had a little time to meditate while doing things that I loved to do before going on the mission such as fishing and playing my guitar, and also doing things I didn't necessarily like to do before the mission and maybe took for granted, but love to do now such as, going to the beach and sitting in the sun with sandy feet....
Life is what you make it. Heavenly Father gives us the opportunity to make our life the way we want it through the freedom of making choices or free agency. Yes there are times when things happen that we have no control over but we do have control over how we will react, and we do have control over how we will handle the situation.
These past few weeks have been decision making times for me. Everyone asks the big question to a return missionary- "what next? what are you going to do with your life now?" and you have to have an answer. You know you have to say something.... but that something might not be really what you want or that something might not be the outcome of what really will take place. But I like to be a man with a plan. So I have that plan. Its a rough draft of course and will probably never be set in stone completely but its a plan. It maybe will be altered a little, but never drastically. But if life is what you make it, you can't build a good life without a plan just like you can't build a beautiful house without the layouts and the floor designs and the roof designs and the electrical designs and so on and so forth.
It feels good to have it some what done. There is one thing in life that is set in stone, and that is church. The gospel of Jesus Christ, and living that Gospel. I did not just get done serving the Lord for two years to just hang up in the closet and leave it there for a little while. My relationship with our Heavenly Father is the most important thing to me in this life. I know that if I'm in the right with him then everything else will fall into place.
I have a feeling that some of my posts will be inspiring, and others not so inspiring, and others on church and others not. I'm excited to see how devoted I am to this and am excited to see just how many people take the time out of their busy day to read this haha I'm guessing not many. But just know that whatever I write on here is more for me than it is for you....
