Hey Family

December 4, 2017

Yeah, 

How are things? I hope they are good. Things are good here, which is good. I don't really have anything big to talk about this week. But we get to have zone conference, which should be good. But ya know, I have been doing a lot of thinking this week, and I've kinda come to a conclusion of some sort as to what I would like to do with my life, which is good. It's kinda long, so I hope you can follow along, but anyways:

After I get home, I want to go to BYU Jerusalem for a semester or two, who knows, and really get to know the scriptures in the Holy Land. I have really loved how much I have learned to this point in my life, and looking at things, I would much rather be studying the gospel than anything else. But of course, by the sweat of my brow, I will earn my bread or whatever. So getting into job stuffs, A lot of people have told me cheesy things like, "Oh, you're very comforting" and "You know just what to say" and "Ah, you understand people" and I was all like "Suuuuurrree....." but someone told me that I really should get into something that has to do with the mind. Long story short, I want to study psychology and perhaps become a therapist/counselor or something, though... and here is the big part... with a lifelong pursuit of, for lack of a better word, translating all these psychological terms into a universal language AKA the gospel of Jesus Christ!!! Woo-hoo! Example, what is often times referred to as conscience can also be called the light of Christ! Everyone is born with the light of Christ. And then maybe after years of study and experience I become a professor at some nice university, teaching all this stuff (but if it's a university talking about the gospel, it would probably have to be BYU.) There was this one guy named Truman G Madsen, he is pretty much one of my idols now, and what he did in his life was he took the unanswerable questions in philosophy and gave us the answers through the writings of Joseph Smith and the restored gospel, which is way legit and kind of my inspiration behind this whacky idea... But any who, I know it's a big goal, but why not set big goals, huh?! It's the only way we can do big things in this life! But yeah, I got more plans too. It's a little long to talk about just over a simple email so maybe we can talk about it when we have that call. But another thing is perhaps I will do wildlife biology part-time as well, so I'm spending time outdoors and getting away from the stresses of all that deep stuff. But who knows? If any one knows some way I can make it into BYU Provo after I'm home though, that would be much appreciated... Haha... 

And so also, by the way, dad you sent me that long email and at the end you said, "I hope it wasn't too boring", but it was WAY TOO EXCITING because seriously I haven't really been able to get my mind off of that stuff!!! Thank you!

Also with the wildlife biology, I think I would want to go to USU for that jazz. I've heard its pretty easy to get in there...

But yeah, there's my stuff. I'm gonna be happy to talk to you guys soon! Love ya and remember to light the world! Wipee! Also, I heard the Cristina spoke in the Christmas devotional! That is so legit!! Tell everyone back home "Hi" for me! Love you all very much, and oh my goodness! I just can't seem to finish this email before another thought comes to mind... So, how are Alec's mission papers coming along?! Super excited for him!!!

I forgot to tell you guys!!! I was helping a lady fetch water from her 80 foot well the other day and my tag and white handbook fell all the way down that wretched hole!... But it's kinda okay because they ordered me two new ones (i don't know why they ordered two?... now i'll have three) But they are both pocket ones, one in english the other in SWAHILI!
